Down Time

[Charles Wirth]

XS was hacked on the 11th of July, the hacker was destructive and came for the user/password/email/ip. XS was part of a zeroday against vbulletin based forums including vb forums.

We are on a rebuild of the database with UTF8 fixed and the corruption in a few tables fixed. I also rebuilt the backup server to match this server again as it was still running the old apache config.

My apologies for the extended down time and the loss of data, XS will survive.

I will commit the running database tomorrow, still working on things.

I know you did a lot of work on getting everything back and running again. Thanks Charles !

[Particle]

Seems we're back now. Good deal.

[Buckeye]

Yeah it sucks what they did, totally uncalled for

[eagle101]

wrong post

[Ket]

Someone needs to track said hacker down and send every known worm / virus / trojan to man to that bastards PC. More to the point though, did the hacker have any success in obtaining usernames and passwords or just try to obliterate everything in frustration at their lack of success?

They'd have been hashed, but it does bring up the right question: Were password hashes taken during this?
If so, it should be advised that everyone with a short/non-complex password should reset their passwords across all sites.

that sucks...
1.5 years seems a lot, what happened to the recent backup ?

[Sparky]

I knew that there had been a vB breach at another site so I changed all my passwords, but I just logged in here with my old password.
I should probably change my passwords AGAIN.

<sigh>

...... whoa, this is old data.

[StyM]

i've updated my password just in case...
lol, lost almost 7k in post.

Oh great more info to learn, all vb forums oh boy...
At least there's good news today, xs is back up , I was concerned that fugger has real life issues or something.
Seen some posting on hwbot but decided I would wait it out after reading some of the comments, seemed like xs could come back and it did .

At least there was piece of good news today I guess, this forum.
I had a bad day today, found out my identity was stolen, was used on a plate in detroit, I know the dudes name and plate # and rough weight, but that's about it.
I now owe detroit $470, which was due the bloody 18th (court was on the 11th), I didn't even know about it until today..., the 21st.
And a warrent for my arrest... (courthouse lady said I would have a warrent if I refused to pay, said to write to the judge, I don't even know the name of the judge...).
Local police was concerned but can't do a darned thing, because it's on the other side of the state.
Freaking crazy stuff these days .
Pretty sure it was the peeps stealing my mail, but who really knows.

Edit:
Thanks for the link, found out one of my accounts was part of a forum hack on myce.com, a cd/dvd burner forum I posted on a few times.
And using my name...

I don't use hotmail, but still makes me wonder if my ss # got out there this way or something.
Hmm, who knows, still nice link.
Is there's a link to the news somewhere with this 0 day info for others to know so they can update there vb code?

[Sparky]
