Site hacked, can someone please help?

How does one do this? After this is fixed I am moving to bbpress, tired of vbulletin and it's constant ****.

its not vbulletin software, its the 3rd party addons, which basically its install at own risk.

I think all mentions of %animus% needs to be removed from the database.

I found these if anyone cares to push forward with legal action.

Time for my questions

1. How do I fix user titles? They have all been changes to 'hacked by team animus'?
2. What exactly has been compromised here? Do I need to change all passwords?

Can you please explain how you did that? I'm trying to disable to addon, but I cannot access AdminCP. It keeps redirecting it to the same page after I login.

1. Download the latest version of vbulletin.
2. In the zip go to the do_not_upload file and extract tools.php
3. Put tools.php it in your vb install folder via ftp.
4. Visit it in a browser.
5. You need to use the following options

[Reset Cookie Domain]
[Reset Cookie Path]

[Reset Admin Access]

6. Delete tools.php from the install directory.
7. Log in and disable all plugins quickly.

I do not know how to disable plugins first but I doubt the hackers are sitting on your server ready to hack again as soon as you fix it.

I have gained access to my forums again but I disabled all addons first via config then changed the main admin account using tools.

Okay, guess I'll leave it disabled until this all blows over.

Does anyone know if disabling is "good enough"? I would prefer to disable, but want to make sure I don't need to uninstall.

I already updated to the "fixed" version, and then I disabled it. Should I remove it completely?

We got hacked too. Adv Forum Rules installed. Pretty sure that's the problem... but we are grepping our log files to find out for sure. So far not much of a footprint.

Does anyone have IP addresses yet of where the attack is coming from?

I wonder if anyone got hacked that does not have 'advanced forum rules' installed?

Does this effect the VSA Advanced Forum rules as well? We were running v5.0.1 (here) but weren't hacked...

Yes, CYB = VSA
