Hey guys visited my board today to be alerted by a thread about my board getting hacked? its running vb 3.6.0...
the posts are as follows
Code:
Degeniz Team hacked the message board via redirection to an image on their site, and it showed a penguin with the turkey Flag symbol, and a map with Turkey on it. Apparently they're a hacker site, with a message board and applications to go along with it.
and various other posts.. i noticed a member called Degeniz team registered which its now banned... rumour has it they have hacked and disabled a few other boards in there time.. ive no idea what to beilve? as i wasnt online at the time.
Is vbulletin easy to exploit and disable.. any precautions other than a backup to take? i apriciate some advice.. thanks
People have been saying im glad the board is back. so im guessing it went down for a while... due to them... im trying to get as much information as possible as i wasnt online to witness anything.
Note: There are known security holes with at least two plugins that hackers are exploiting right now - Flashchat and TopXStats. I *strongly* recommend you remove at least these plugins if you have them.
Think I had one of them today, had a user sign up, didn't think too much of it, until I started getting a refreshed page to a Turkish site, one of my Mod's removed it and stopped it, but I've since banned their IP and email address (I traced the IP back to a Turkish host).
I must have had at least 10 of these posts in the last 2 days, so far I have deleated all these users, deleated there posts, banned there IP's and banned email addresses. Getting fed up of them now pity they have nothing else better to do.....
As a last resort, I have now stopped all new registrations, I know it's a bit drastic.
