Bad break

There is a lot of people now all they do is look to cause trouble on the Internet, and more joining up every day.

what forum software are you using?

did they crack an admin password or get in through a script vulnerability?

also, you can backup your forums so you don't need to lose eveything.

I suppose you've read the WebWiz Forum site about the security issues [webwizguide.info] and read over the documentation during installation to know that if your using a DNS-less connection (wth?) your forum can be hacked. This hack occurs due to the fact that the db is stored in a web accessable folder where they can download the information, log in change data and so forth. Solution? MySQL db :D If its other than that you should address the webwiz people about it on their forums. :) Thanks for the heads up //me continues to use phpBB and awaits BestBBS's release.
