Forum hacked

[Traxdata]

I ran vb since 07/2004, and it was for the first time, I know how to spell -security-.

if it will happen to someone - search for .htaccess files on your whole server (via ssh or sftp), they will be everywhere in vb folders. you have to delete them all.

Which is why responsible administrators backup their forums at least once daily and to multiple locations.

Clean your own registry first, friend. Start with this utility:
