Forum Bugs

As a result of a small vulnerability we discovered earlier that was exploited by someone (we're still investigating), some of the hacks that were installed onto our forum are not currently working, as I had to restore some files with an unmodified version.

I will be upgrading our forums to most recent full release version of vBulletin and restoring the hacks we had used ASAP. In the interim, you may notice some bugs, such as incorrect forum orders, strange numbers appearing underneath the forum descriptions (a result of the previously implemented hack to add links and downloads information for Modifications and Campaigns), and some other occasional bugs.

We apologize for the inconvenience and I will be fixing these issues as soon as possible.

Do you know the Ip address or anythig of the person/ppl that did it?

i don't know if it has to do with the same thing, but the downloads section doesn't work properly...

Ah, missed that one... easy fix... thanks

You mean when the front page had a brazil flag on it?

oh, i don't want to piss you off, but the sub domains don't work eitheir :|:bgrun:

I'm well aware of that, thanks... my primary concern at the moment is getting all the main sites hosted here (WC3C, BE, WL, etc.) back up and running properly, then we'll take of the subdomains one by one.

STOOPID MOD FORGE!!

EVERYONE GO TO ********!!

THERE ACTING INNOCENT!

Don't be too quick to blame ppl...

I knew some one hacked the site when I say a very wierd screen when I tried to go to www.wc3campaigns.com. I hope it's totaly fixed soon.

what werid screen?

I have contacted the hacker reasponisble and he has explained the issue and how he did it. So dont worry :)....

well whats the issue?

what the hell is going on, in the past couple of months both WC3C and ******** have been hacked O_o

He exploited a vulnerability that was no fault of our own and as a status thing to proove his own skills. It was not an attack specifically on wc3campaigns, there were many sites that he went after today.

Hackers do stuff like that as a way to proove their skill. It is also in ways a blessing in disguise as it allows system administrators to learn about security holes and fix them. Unfortunately, this time around, we were affected by this hacker's need to prove his worth, but at least we can insure it won't happen again.

Most hackers to tend to jsut want to proove themselves, not to deliberately attack someone. That is why he was so willing to let us know how he got in.
