DO NOT, NO MATTER WHAT GIVE HIM ANY ACCESS.
Check all your admin logs, and you should find the culprit.

He wants the DB to get whatever settings he can so he can do some more scripts. If all he has done so far is toggle the site off and off then that is where he needs to be stopped. And no matter what he does, do NOT give him anything.
You are so right! I wasn't thinking clearly about the overall picture of what was going on. I think if this were my site, I'd close it down and delete all my files and put the site back up with a backup from a few days ago.

Yea im deleting all the files and just puting up new ones but im going to be keeping my current database. as he didnt get in the database....

He's just running "kiddie scripts" is all. I know if I was a kid with the kiddie script mind-set what I would do if I had access to someone's db. He wouldn't be asking for something he already has access to. Your suggestion is the best way to go at this point. ;)

What a team! ;)

so basically there is no way to protect yourself against this type of thing - so the culprit wins once again if he has to change his files etc.
Surely there must be some protection from this sort of stuff out there.
Remember this affects all of us in the long run not just fordsho

fordsho 02-26-2008 06:21 PM
Well i just finished upping the new files and well everything seems good for now... i lost my design and some other stuff but ill up those later on. but these guys are serious man i have a fairly decent number of members and what not and this guy just decides to take it from me..... i allready had someone steal my database when it was at 180k... that sucked big time.

Boofo 02-26-2008 06:23 PM
Chances are the kid found some vulnerability in a hack somewhere. It might even be one he helped to write and set up for this. This is an isolated case and we don't know all of the details.

fordsho 02-26-2008 07:00 PM
well heres the thing. the person doing this was probably one of my old staff who decided to steal the forum for his self and failed miserably...

Boofo 02-26-2008 07:28 PM
Well, he didn't get what he was after. And apparently he doesn't have that much access or he would have done more damage. You are lucky this time. If he might have had any other details, now would be a good time to reset all passwords, FTP, ADMIN and MOD CPs. etc.
