It is no joy to announce that our beloved forums have been hacked during the week-end. :'(
As much as I can understand why hackers would break into a system and use it, I can hardly understand why they would destroy the existing data as they did here... what good does this do to them? |-|
Anyway, we're currently trying to locate the most recent DB backup... in the meantime, you'll just get a fat error message. Sorry for the inconvenience.
PS: we now upgraded phpBB... of course... I wish I had done before... of course... I should have done it before... of course... I knew I had to do it before... of course I have been warned several times... you can blame me for all that. XX(
All I can say is that once again, b2evo is not a commercial project and no one gets paid for working on it nor maintaining the site. We do that on our free time. We have daytime jobs also. And it happens that the end of the year is a very busy period for businesses... which leaves us less time for b2evo. I've been working 12 hours a day lately... sorry, I can't catch up on my b2evo mail backlog in such a period.
Anyway, I've learned a lesson here...
PS: for those of you interested in more about the phpBB 2.0.10 series of attack, you might want to check this out: http://voidmain.is-a-geek.net/forums/viewtopic.php?p=8501 (Thx Travis).
