My site is Also being hacked

[teedizz]

basically, thier doing nothing to tha forum itself, I mean they have no direct access to my server or they would wipe everything...new users are registering & just creating a thread with a title like

">"">>>><meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;url=http://myturqey.com/a.htm"> """" >

then for some reason my sites starts to re-direct....after i delete the thread, everything is fine. I do have top x-stats installed so ill try updating that but i was reading the other thread & really seen sooo many suggestions but no definates...so what stops this? I have 3.5.2 installed

Also, is this problem fixed for 3.6?

What version of vB are you using? On my vB 3.5.x and vB 3.6.0 sites with HTML turned off those threads had no affect.

It is the TOP x-stats that is doing this. If you did click install, you should have recieved an Official staff update concerning it. I suggest downloading the latest version which fixes the issue...

Before you do the Update to Version 3.6 pls check your Server for your Configs cause you maybe cannot install it due the php- and mysql Version it needs...!

I've update my vb last night 2 Version 3.5.5. and it works all fine! Maybe you should do an update too 4 more safety...

Danny, you all might want to mention to people that if they have a "test" board installed to test out upgrades or hacks before installing them on their live board, that if they have Cyb-Avanced Forumhome Stats, Top "X" Stats and ESPECIALLY if they have any version of FlashChat before the new patched 4.6.2 on their test board that they are still vulnerable if these kiddies find their unpatched version of their test forums. I've seen this happen alot with people that have patched their live boards, but forgot to do so on their test boards.

JFYI - it is only possible for a hacker to use the Flashchat exploit if you are running your server with "register_globals" set to "on" (in PHP) - since this is a security issue in itself, anyone who can, should turn that option off in their php.ini
