We got hacked

Your welcome, and thank you.

Looks like you got the page thing straightened out, Genma... Sugoi...! :woot:

Great job...! :applaud:

Also found that several user accounts were deleted.

I've created dummy accounts, testuser111 and testuser222. Let me know if any of you recognise their posts...

Other users deleted:
297, 611, 1155, 2229, 2400, 2552, 2991, 3379, 3757, 4498, 4673, 4946, 5073, 5578, 6737, 7528, 8594, 9389, 10121

I believe the hacker made use of my tool to remove users who are deactivated... I'll try to find a way to resolve this..

What I noticed that was there were a BUNCH of users with join dates from way back when with 0 posts. What was weird was that they were logging in like crazy right after the hack. :crazy:

wow im glad this is back, i was so bored last night, great job genma :hug: btw genma i tried to update my profile but its giving me an error, but dont worry bout that now, its just a minor problem

I was up until Ruro took down the site around 12:30 or so, then it was a quick dash to the bed for me. :sleep:

'twas a sad period indeed.

but... now? :dancing:

How'd u know they're logging in like crazy??? I've no idea about that... which usernames in particular? I'll check on it.

BTW, do not try to update your profile at the moment. I'll fix it tonight (Singapore time) when I'm back home.. zz.z.z..zz

who knows, maybe the peeps from d-addicts joined the forum at that time but it was really busy last night, there were like 17 registered members, 10 hidden and 117 guests online heheh i was chatting with aka too

Sorry, I didn't get any of the usernames. Damn, I knew I should have taken a screenshot of it. :grumble:

What was weird was the usernames that were accessed had not been used AT ALL since their time of registration. So basically, there were a couple of people that registered in 2000 or 2001 that NEVER posted. I just thought that was a suspicious. Maybe I'm just being a conspiracy-theorist. :crazy:

Yeah, I did notice that there's a lot of folks who register and NEVER make a single post... I don't understand why theyt even registered...

Hmm, wasn't there a plan to purge registered users that hadn't posted in a long long time and/or never ever posted?

Time to clean out the attic, as they say. :hehe:

Hmm, on second thought maybe you have something there, 86: I just noticed a surge of apparent newbies here... Very unusual.

Betting money it's the "==" bug in phpBB 2.0.12 that they used to compromise this site:

Because Genma's site is so modified, he would have had to patch his site by hand, line-by-line. Version 2.0.13 fixes that bug, but the update only came out in late February. And I doubt Genma is keeping tabs with phpbb.com.

Gotta stay on top of these things, ne?

Hey Groink! Long time no see/talk! Thanks for the pointers. Everything seems to be okay now. :D

Spot on! Thats exactly what Groink would say. :naughty:

But not everything is ok yet. New user registration and profile updates are getting cranky. I'm still trying to fix them.
