VBulletin is not built for security
 

Here is a quote from the following article (towards the bottom of the article):

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/04/10...down-al-qaeda/

Getting in through modifications that have been installed and such. Even if the site is taken down, since security level must be *low*. That's what back-ups are in store for! :)

Wonder if Jelsoft could respond back...

for a fact, real hackers are not using the frontend to hack servers... vBulletin is not a backend manager, so no, vBulletin is not built for security... morons!

I thought it was interesting that those sites use vBulletin and that was the only bb software he mentioned in that article. You would think the vBulletin people would not want any part of groups like that by allowing them to use vb. Goes to show you that money is their only motive, huh?

groups... why make selection...

btw, AlKaida do not need a license of vB... do you seriously think they would register at vb.com to pay a license... nah... but the reporter checked the software used on their site, that's all...

I'm sure if Al Queda is using vbulletin it's a hacked version of the software- no way they could be doing legit business with a US Based company.

Doh, Boofu. :D

Err... Spooks? Lol FixedNews strikes again!

I'm surprised that a "cyberterror expert" such as Bardin can make himself look so ignorant on security matters. Unless they have some sort of secret cache of vB 0day's I'm positive vB is more secure than most other BB software.

I wouldn't bet on it. ;)

Wrong.

and your evidence is ?
