Vb 4.2.3 users passwords stolen
 
I have been reported some of my users had their password stolen and used by a hacker to post shitty topics on the forum

What can I do to avoid that?

Were their passwords stolen because of a vulnerability on your forums or from somewhere else?
You first have to find the hole, then patch it, then you should consider resetting the passwords of all users.

Well that I don't know.
Seems like the passwords stolen were quite easy to guess

Dave 12-08-2015 04:17 PM

Well you will have to find out if it's because of an exploit on your forums or not.
That way we can guide you the right way.

How can I find out?
Anyway I have reset the password not secure (540)

Well if the "hacker" didn't tell you that he hacked your forums and extracted user information, the only way would be by looking at the server logs, suspicious hooks or outdated vulnerable plugins.
There's not really a way to tell you exactly where to look at since each hack is unique.
