The wr1oc site has been hacked again. All the posts have been deleted, so I hope they have a backup on tape!

Does SN have adequate protection in place?

Who the WR1 drivers?

 

****ing tw@ts ... they have posted up loads of religious **** that nobody really cares about.

Hopefully we'll have the site back to normal by tonight.

 

How was the forum hacked? I often notice the hacked forums are phpbb, is there some security issue with them?

 

Religion mite not mean nuttun to you but it means suttun to me so i am asking you kindley to edit your thread

 

Nice spelling

 

nuttun is how we say nothing in manchester or atleast where am from and i spelt kindly as kindley.

Is there enything else you would like to add

The WR1OC site was based on the phpbb forum - It's brilliant software but there are plenty of security holes in every release of the software.

This website is based on the VBulletin software, which is a paid-for software (except for charities etc.). I think they go the extra mile to make it more secure.

The problem normally comes when people change the basic phpbb software extensively. When a security update is required it means you have to go through the complete procedure of adding all the extras to the update. Therefore, many people don't do it immediately on phpbb releasing a security update.

The WR1OC appears to have been running the phpbb 2.0.10 version. There have been 7 updates since then - at least 2 of them for major security bugs.

Most of these hacks are generated by a program that scans a search engine or by other similar means. Forums are rarely targetted specifically though. For more information do a search for the people who hacked the site, it's sometimes quite interesting to see how many they have done.

 

no need

 

You ARE joking!!! (I hope)

 

Yeah forums are easy access to the servers hosting them, due to the need for interaction between the user more so than with a normal site security as mentioned above is difficult..

Simple hacks like making the avatar bigger can open holes.

 

I dunno these Christians....get every where....

wr1oc is now back up and running as normal.

Cheers for your patience.
