I went on irc and jobber who is always there says some dude was spamming the irc while he was away

no damage done, obviously, since our irc is dead half the time anyway but they left a link to a site with this news

Forums Exploited
Yeh, the forums were compromized today. I had a phonecall from Dave explaining what had happened - and got Dan to pull the site offline until I was home to sort things. There isn't no backup's neither (Yeh - whoever attacked us totally fuck us over LULZ) so i'll have to see what I can do with the current database. This is the trouble with running 'main-stream' forum software - there's always some security issue.

The forums will be back - but expect a fresh start (Yeh - i'm probably just as pissed off as the rest of you are.. But that's life.) All PRO members will get their pro back - I have transaction logs of who paid (And I pretty much remembered who had paid up anyway)

As far as I know, the attackers are either;
1. Visitors to http://www.evilbore.com/
or
2. Owners of http://www.evilbore.com/

In the meantime - all Canadian traffic has been blocked from accessing the site.

Stay tuned for updates!

Edit: Apparently it was Dru, Dav and Aidan.

I just emailed that guy to say we had nothing to do with it.

Evilbore should get rid of Icons, and start having PRO members so that we could pay a small fee to lord over dirty poor free users. Ideally, PRO Member status would allow you to change the title of one non-pro member's thread per week, and edit two Leper's posts per week. Also we could have a PRO forum, where we could discuss what unchangeable titles to give free users.

Canada must be stopped

demi · « **Reply #10 on:** July 12, 2008, 12:12:25 AM »

Do you know that site, ParticleReality? I actually lied when I said I emailed them. I decided not to bother. I dunno who would do hacking in our name. I'm 100% sure that website has never been mentioned on this board.

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #11 on:** July 12, 2008, 12:17:31 AM »

I just left a comment "lol"ing at them and telling them that we have no idea how Evilbore is involved with this.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #12 on:** July 12, 2008, 12:21:01 AM »

I sent an e-mail to whomever posted that article asking to forward any information they have to me so I can look into it. We're kind of an irreverent site, so I have no idea who would actually be interested in hacking us.

And yeah, a bunch of folks signed up today. I denied half of them and the others were required to activate through the e-mail addy they signed up with. Nothing really happened. I'm looking at data and usage on our backend and I cannot see any noticeable effects.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #13 on:** July 12, 2008, 12:24:21 AM »

Thats the most we can do at this point

Vizzys · « **Reply #14 on:** July 12, 2008, 12:25:19 AM »

i dont think our forums have been hacked or anything yet

I mean its possible, but it requires certain variables to be done, like you willco clicking on a suspiciously coded link in a PM or something dumb like that

make a db backup offsite if you want, just in case

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #15 on:** July 12, 2008, 12:26:27 AM »

Its a shame their first reaction isnt finding the truth, but rather doing the thing they are so pissed off about.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #16 on:** July 12, 2008, 12:27:42 AM »

Yeah, I'm not saying we've been hacked and I'm certainly aware of thanks to security discussions with other forum operators of the risks involved with my account. Database backups are routine and I will reinforce some safety guards to make sure that we're not totally vunerable.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #17 on:** July 12, 2008, 12:30:09 AM »

There's only so much we can do. Someone who REALLY wants to devote time to hacking a forum can do it.

xnikki118x · « **Reply #18 on:** July 12, 2008, 12:52:51 AM »

I hope we don't get hacked. I like it here.

laesperanzapaz · « **Reply #19 on:** July 12, 2008, 01:09:00 AM »

what the hell is that site about, anyways?

and can someone check OA to see who's the twit who may have done this?

Bildi · « **Reply #20 on:** July 12, 2008, 01:35:21 AM »

Some random dudes that are gay for our penises, no doubt. That's just the kind of stuff you can expect to happen when you roll with Evilbore.

Bildi · « **Reply #22 on:** July 12, 2008, 01:59:18 AM »

I guess I'm just not used to it yet.

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #23 on:** July 12, 2008, 02:15:41 AM »

Wait, you pay to be a Pro Member at that site?

. I could prossibly understand a huge site like Something Awful but jesus.

i haven't experienced a forum hack in years.

i remember one time at this one forum that got hacked annually, someone put up a bunch of images of dead bodies :x when the site got hacked one time.

hackers suck

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #33 on:** July 12, 2008, 06:51:49 AM »

This whole thing is pretty crazy. I wish the owners of the site could send me some IP address and information so we can figure out who it might be on our end. In the meanwhile, I did backup the database offsite (I miss the days when the forum database was just 8MB) as per Viz's suggestion.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #34 on:** July 12, 2008, 06:58:03 AM »

Oh, it's not ginormous, but I remember when I used to be able back it up and it was like 8MB. No joke!

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #39 on:** July 12, 2008, 10:43:59 AM »

The answer to this riddle is either residing at OA or GAF....probably OA. The question is who would be lame enough to actually visit a Habbo Hotel fan forum?

Evilore does match the profile.

CHOW CHOW · « **Reply #40 on:** July 12, 2008, 02:22:42 PM »

Uhh, no... OA has nothing to do with this, at least not the real OA (forgotten-gamer.com). Nobody there would give a shit about something stupid like this. We're all ballers for the most part..
