Somebody cared enough to hack the main forums page! :omg:

Probably the opposite, practicing here before their main target. Or possibly going to an inactive website in the hopes that the admins take longer to fix the site than it take for him to show off to his friends what he has done.

If you've never run a site you'd never notice, but every site on the internet is under constant automated attack. It's basically just a matter of time.

This man speaks troofs. You guys would be blown away at how many SSH/FTP/etc login failures the servers a day.

Regardless, this "hack" (actually a ****ty script kiddie) was a drive by attack on vb, nothing deeper. VB didn't update like I thought it did, we were one version behind, they exploited.

How did they find us, you ask?

Well, take a look at: http://www.bing.com/search?q=Powered+by+vBulletin+4.2.0+atheist+forum&go=&qs=n&pq=powered+by+vbulletin+4.2.0+atheist+forum&sc=0-0&sp=-1&sk=&cvid=64443d4496434b2d80a5937bdd016753&first=29&FORM=PERE1

Notice a result on that page? Yep. That's right. Because of that thread.

Anyway, it's resolved. I didn't see much evidence of the guy doing anything else other than ****ing with the forum a bit (he used a PHP shell after gaining admin access to the forum via the exploit). He didn't have access to anything else. To be safe I banned his admin account, banned his IP globally, wiped the forum directory completely and restored from backup, and updated vB manually. I also removed the version number from the footer, because **** vB. There's no reason for that **** to be public knowledge anyway.

I actually don't see a result on that page relating to this site?

Can't confirm that, suggest clearing cache/refreshing. The hack was not related to themes at all in the first place.

And yeah, apparently Bing's Canadian version does not believe in Massassi. See Roger Spruce's post for what you "should" see. Inb4 Bing is terrible and only the worst script kiddies would use Bing.
2013-09-14, 9:28 PM #20
Yeah seriously what, why Bing?

What makes the us a soviet nation?

We haven't made gays illegal.

We just make it really hard to be gay. But atleast we don't have a gulag for them.

well sure we live in an unprecedented totalitarian panopticon, we aggressively prosecute political dissidents, and we react violently to peaceful social movements, but at least we don't view employment as a fundamental right

In the Soviet Union western world you have a choice: you can either vote for the Soviet neoliberal party, or you can vote for the Soviet neoliberal party.

I mean, the west might be a Malthusian Social-Darwinist hellhole but at least we don't have homophobia or bread lines...

oh, wait.

****.

is my point getting across or should I keep going?
