Paul O'Donnell 969350 Posted April 7, 2007 at 12:12 PM Posted April 7, 2007 at 12:12 PM I noticed this last night, it definately looks like a juvenile attempt to hack, as they didn't really change anything from a broswers perspective. It's only the forum subject titles that have been changed and some sections missing, the threads in the changed subjects seem to still be there.

William Woo 810764 Posted April 7, 2007 at 02:00 PM Posted April 7, 2007 at 02:00 PM It's probably more than that. He/She hacked in with the webmaster account and deleted many boards. According to the hosting company, something already happen in late March and we are still looking for a clean backup...

Kar-Lok Wong 839249 Posted April 9, 2007 at 07:31 PM Posted April 9, 2007 at 07:31 PM YES, the forum is hacked again. I'm working to get the website/forum back to the original state. A few things are changed. - Running (outdated) back-up of January 2007 - Switched to another forum software (Invisionboard to phpBB2), the forum is now integrated in the website. - Forum now available in the traditional chinese language. (Change it in your profile) - Deleted all users with 0 (zero) posts, check the memberlist, if your account is deleted you should register again. Also some data could be outdated because I used a backup of January 2007. Regards, Karlok VATSIM ASIA Region > http://www.vatasia.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
