Wow, what a weird last few days.
Glad to see Indian Ringnecks is back up and running. I was beginning to get the "D T's"
Hmmmm....hackers must not have much else better to do with their life then ruin things for others.
Anyway, all is good now.

Whilst I am glad it was a problem with this site, I was freaking out that someone had hacked into my computer. Glad all is ok now.

Aaron thought the same thing too laine, I didn't think so because I have seen it happen before.

Is there any way we can find out what the hack involved?
ie; what kind of hack was it? Was it a simple address hijack? Or did they gain assess to any core member lists / emails and possibly logins?
Just curious about personal forum identity and im sure there are several members here who use similar usernames / passwords on their emails accounts etc...
Cheers.

It happened again????
I wonder if this forum is now a target for hackers?

Same group.
"Snake Team" (wouldnt be overly worried).
Its a relatively minor defacing group of "hackers" if you want to call them that.
They operate out of crewz.org
They mainly deface websites to earn "credit" I guess, simply doing mediocre defacements to disrupt websites... main trend seems to be christian based websites, though they will attack other popular forums hosted by places running vulnerabilities or new exploitable techniques.

as the sql database is till intact all they seem to be doing is a redirect, also evident in the forum starts to load before being moved to the other sites.
what version of phpbb are you running, and have you added the latest security patches. now they now they can do this site they will be back time after time.
