What type of damage did they do? Was it just an alteration of some of the pages or was there deeper access, possible to the database.

I would suggest disabling all your mods and change all your passwords. Once some other replies come in on the security of the mods you can then determine if they are safe enough to reactivate.

They only hacked my account so far. I have changed my passwords and disabled the one mod that is attached to vb. the vbexternal and deluxe login are separate so i left those.

I dunno but I wanna think it was a flaw in the deluxe login but I read through the entire mod post and no one complained of hack issues.


Update - Ok i checked my ip trail and there seems to be no odd ip addresses so I will assume my account was not accesses yet. Secondly, My mods are disabled and there seems to be no file tampering. Is it possible to hack people via the password recovery method. I remember MSN used to have that problem so maybe it might be possible this way.

UberMensch - I wouldn't say vb is 100% hack proof so I wouldn't want to rule it out because they have come across very vulnerable holes in the past.


Is there a possibility that bots are attacking my site and changing the password alone?
