Forum hacked

Post by **Bojan** » 23 Nov 2004, 09:05

Due to a recent exploit in phpBB, our forum got hacked yesterday. The attacker got hold of the admin password and used it to send out two emails to every user in the board.
I apologize for all problems this has caused - if I had updated phpBB earlier, this wouldn't have happened.
Everything should now be back to normal. We also logged the ip of the attacker.

If you find anything out of normal in the forum or on the site, please report it to me.

Is there a censor option for words?

For an example: If you type s h i t, the russian thing appears.

shiznit.

I typed s h i t. You admins/mods can check this by ''editing'' my post. There is no Russian language in my post, only ''s h i t''.

You know what they say Bojan - 'happens to the best of us'.

I get so much spam anyway lol, that it's proabably lost between a promise to get rich by sponsoring some african rebel and an opportuninty to get bigger tits.

I know how pesky these hackers can get. A similar thing happened to me once and I was totally pissed off. I see you've dealt with the peoblem very professionally. I think we can be proud we have the administration that is professional and kind. Keep up the good work!

Maybe you should send a new email, and explain the situation... Some people believe it was their email accounts that got hacked...

We have his IP and he will be reported to his ISP.

New and Good news for s2000 fans guess what ?
i recently sent a email to EA askin them about the s2000 and they replied saying its in the U.S and asian versions only and there is a bug in the game.We were suppose to be able to unlock it at end of the game, but it does'nt get unlocked so Ea is devloping a patch that people can install then race 5 races more and unlock the s2000.Cool huh!

Hey, you're not a mod here M.S, you have no rights to say that... And you're insulting everyone who has posted in this forum, you know? I'm sure they'll not be happy to see this...

@Dragstarr: I thought you said you had the S2000 in the game already? I presumed you lied, that's why you didn't show any screenshots of it... Gotcha!
