Dog House Rules Forum Hacked...

[jezter6]

Looks like the same bug that got the Mutants and Masterminds forum a few days ago got DHR's too...

Same message, different 'generation' number...dunno if that's a running tally of forums hacked or what...

I'm guessing this is the same issue mentioned in the PHBB upgrade thread...so everyone who runs a forum better run out and get updates quick.


Good luck guys...keep your forums safe.

Yup, we got hit as well as a number of other RPG sites. We are aware of the problem and should be back up and running with the next few days.

Ho, ho, ho, huh!!

Have at 'em, gang! If you find the suckers that did it, you should band together with the other hit companies and make sure they get their due...

A few months or years in jail and a hefty fine should teach em not to screw with a bunch of RPGers.

Geoff make sure you check that there are no strange files lurking in your server. This nasty thing I heard can leave some files named as newsletter.php in there disquised... (got that from the forums at either lunarpages.com or phpbb.com forum) I am going to just clean out the entire folder and reload everything. Also is your server using I think it's php 4.10? That will also make sure you are secure. Good luck!!!! I also noticed your generation was 24, mine was 22 and I think mine was hit around 10:00 last night just FYI....

Thanks for the heads up, I'll probably just wipe it clean as well and start with a fresh install. The big problem is finding the time in the next couple of days with the holiday madness!!!

AAP seems fine for now, but then again, I run a PostNuke version of the board.

Well, the DHR forums are back up and running. They aren't all shiny like they used to be, but that will come as the holiday hustle and bustle allows. Let's hope the new version is a little more ironclad.
