Nick Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I have to say I am deeply sorry - but we can not restore the site because all the backups are either of a few days back after the event or far to old - going months back. This was our mistake in not making backups. All posts have being lost, and nothing else. We have to start fresh. All the posts were deleted by someone who discoverd a moderators password. For further security reasons, that moderator is now a member for the coming weeks. Again I am sorry that this has happend that it has become common with our community and I even promised it is secure. I have to say nothing is, even though I and everyone else tried to make themselfs and the forum a secure place, it only takes one to break that. We now need your full support, posting power, to bring the forum to how it was and even better. To the person who did this - we will only get stronger, and don't be fooled we will catch you.

dazzi220 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Its shocking how fast and easily someone wrecked the forum but even more shocking was the fact I could get hold of amy admins to tell em what was going on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samari Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Ahhh tis a sad tale Yet again the forum is reduced to the very beginning, no posts, no members and only the hope that things will improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinb456 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 but this time we do have members! it was only the posts that got deleted! this time it wasnt a security flaw it was just a mod's guessed password, so only posts could be deleted. this is because of upgrading to more secure forum that we havnt lost members aswell.

Samari Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Sorry but I don't think I share the same cherry optimism as Kevin. I've seen this board broken into many times now, after each one I have been insured that it is now "much more secure" yet the same thing still happens. If people are really that pathetic to want to damage a webiste then they will get though, there is no way of stopping it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 I've seen this board broken into many times now, after each one I have been insured that it is now "much more secure" yet the same thing still happens. ← But this time, it was different. Someone guessed the password through a fault of Hotmail. That's why I do not recommend Hotmail anymore. Hotmail are hacker lovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123456 Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Try and sort the mods passwords out, so they are more difficult to guess. Anyways-I will post-hackers are a holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
