It may happen every few months, but it doesn't make it any less serious. Maybe there is something the site can do to help prevent or minimize further attacks? I'm sure there are a number of things that can be done.
Vbulletin.org is the only site I have had this happen at. While its possible or likely it may have happened at others and I never knew about it, its still not reassuring IMO.
Or is it gonna take something catastrophic to happen and the damage done before its taken more seriously. Simply put this I don't think should be happening as often as it is to the point its affecting members here. Let alone to the point its making them jittery.
We don't know what they are after or what the true intention is. Having a good password may still not stop them. Its obvious they are looking for something. The question is if they get what they are looking for, is VB.org prepared to deal with the fallout and who will take responsibility for not trying to do more about it ahead of time when the chance was there?
This caught my attention. Downplaying it is not something I know I would be doing.
