PostSubject: Damaged Venomland Database   Thu 3 Nov - 22:45

Hello Members,

As some of you noticed, we had problems with our Database during an hacker attack on Venomland today..
I was able to get the Forum back running, but unfortunately, we have lost all the postings after October 30, afternoon as our Backup was last done by then!

We are still working with Forum Motion together to find out where the Attack came from, and i will keep everyone updated on the progress..

We apologize for the inconvenience!

Hello,

In my forum in Greece I always have backup of the forum the provider also (IPB forums).
I hope everything to go well.

If you are on free hosting forum provider you will have serious problems like I had in the past.
If something goes wrong Google cache can give you most of the older posts!

With the best Regards,
George Faitatzoglou.

Wondering about the reason to hack a forum like that here.
Everything what is posted and now missing can and should be posted again of course.
Let us know when and how we can help to clear things up .
Good Luck Mod´s,
Ralph

I think the forum is under attack again at this moment. Topics are vanishing fast. Complete subforums are empty now where a few minutes ago they where still present

are there no security updates of extra plugins to improve the security?
Cause is we are attacked by hackers, they sure as hell can read all the messages and personal data from users!

perhaps worth a look?: http://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/modifications/security-5/sid_bbf82e419719504f2e7f4e1fa9a85868
