Forum Destroyed By Hacker
 

In the last week we were still on 4.1.x and a hacker demolished our vB software; however, he did not touch the Database. Thank God

This hacker was:
Now we are on 4.2.1 and today someone was trying to get us but we caught them in time:

I have done a great deal of reading here and IMO opinion too much effort is being put into identify that you have been hacked and how to try to fix it; should we just eliminate their ability to get in our systems, and shouldn't this be the job of vB? Not the customers; and not the customers paying third parties? This is very depressing to say the least.

I've been a vB licensee since 2005, never been hacked or defaced. Of course, I adroitly avoided getting vB4. Might have alot to do with it.

Exactly! I've payed vBulletin for an insecure forum that's now down for the second time in 2 weeks because of a hacker. F'ing scumbag.

WHy are they selling me on a software they can't protect?

And it looks like they've gotten in to my cPanel, as well.

Log of what my hacker friend did if this helps anyone else.

I have only these three Plugins, can anyone advise if either is a risk?

Has anyone turned off Registration and still been exploited?
