Forum Slider has been Hacked

[tekmiester]

Everyone,

If you use Forum Slider (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=255879&highlight=forum+slider), please remove it from your site. It seems to have been hacked.

Buypoe.com (The developer's site) and other's using it have all been defaced.
*edited out* (which also uses Forum Slider) has also been defaced.
Nemesisguild.net another Forum Slider has also been defaced.

All three sites show a picture of David Ahmad ( of Forum-Skins.com) modified to look like he is doing something obscene.

I am not a fan of the guy or his work, but someone else seems to be very angry with him.

I advise everyone to remove the component immediately.

Thanks for the heads up .. I haven't installed it on any of my forums, but it makes you think how good / safe the coding is on some of these extra's we install !?

Yeah, it is amazing. I woke up this morning and sure I had been hacked. It was only when I started doing some research did I figure out that several sites with this component had the same issue. I tried disabling it, but it didn't do anything. Finally, I pulled it out of the CMS and my issue went away.

Yes sir, confirmed here as well. I paid for the Ultimate version of this and still got hacked if it makes you guys feel any better.

If the mod has been comrpomized, then report it to the admins so they can take it off the mod site to avoid other users from being hacked.
