3.6.8 question

[ShawneyJ]

ok so my admin account was hacked last nite, i run 3.6.5.

would 3.6.8 make it safer for my site please? from hackers.

[Dismounted]

There were updates for security in 3.6.6. Even if it doesn't contain updates related to security, it is good practise to keep up-to-date.

i dont get it man how a hacker can hack our whole 3 admin accounts, my site a ran very safe i thought. but some how they still easy log in as me, my password is as long as a book for gods sake.

[Dismounted]

It's probably caused by a hack you've installed. Some vulnerable hacks can "steal" a login to someone else's account.

jaycop, maybe they get your password from keylogger or trojan ?
There are many ways to be hacked, so not only vbulletin security vulnerability.

mmm thanks guys,

it was really weird, they easy just logged in using all our admin accounts plus a few mods,
stuffed the forum up then put 38,500 guests on the forum.

now i have been hacked before but this tops the cake.
