Had a guy come onto my site yesterday. He claimed to be using a program that could create registered accounts, and used some 200 proxies. I believe he referred to it as xrumer profiles. Supposedly he creates hacks and sells them.
Of course the only thing I could do was to manually moderate new accounts. He created another account near instantaneous. |

You can still access the members area via https://members.vbulletin.com
It appears to have only been the forums, the main home page and all subsequently related pages work along with the members area as well. If your vB5 forum is hacked, close the board and await an announcement and new security patch because currently since we (the public) do not know the exploit used, overwriting with fresh files from a version with an apparent exploit won't be of much use. *Although to be fair this could have been some other form of exploit... server possibly however I doubt that based on it only being the vB5 powered forums down currently - we honestly do not know yet . *This may also be something that affected the specific version on vbulletin.com, meaning that usually they run a slightly newer version than what is currently released so it's entirely possible only their version was compromised and no others are at risk however that's dependent on a number of factors. Is it bad? Well sure no one likes being defaced that way but let's not start a panic and have chaos ensue in this thread, we'll know more soon . |

Now the question is if it got hacked because of a vBulletin 5 exploit or something else. Looking at the amount of vBulletin 5 vulnerabilities in the past, it does not surprise me if it's a vBulletin 5 exploit.

I only know of one other time, I barely recall another time before that but can't say for sure. I know the p0wetards... err I mean p0wersurge folks were able to pull it off a while back. I can only vouch for twice myself. |
