They hack I unhack. Who will get tired of it first?

Well, one hour ago the forum was hacked by some Saudi hackers. It didn't take long for me to fix the forum. However I still didn't find the hole they got in, so it's not patched and they can do it again. I contacted the VBulletin team (we run our forum on their software) - hope the hole will be found and fixed before those losers come back again. It looks like after they hacked the forum they sent e-mails to all our members. Sorry about that.

You know, if they are going to take the time and effort to hack, they could at least send more interesting email than "ksm". How about "We are Saudi princes and want to make you the head of housekeeping in our palace/burger joint/furniture warehouse" or something equally as interesting?

Thanks for keeping such a vigilant eye

YAY! I can't believe how fast you solved this!
My first thoughts: noooo not again

Yeah that was really fast. I didn't even realise they did anything to the site and I was online when the mail came in.
