Forum hacked, restored, now showing bare index

Wow,

If you installed correctly and updated when exploits were found you would have never had an issue. Even windows gets updated because exploits are found every so often.

It is a website and it is complex. There is always a learning curve but if you do not want to learn from those who know it well then good lucking finding your magic script that doesn't exist.

My site has been up since 2004 and has never had a successful "injection" attack. I have clients that have sites that go back further and have never been hacked.

At any rate, the people here have taken the time to try to share knowledge with you. Perhaps a thank you would have been a better reply and yes, your site may be running but if you did not fix the issue than I am sure it will be hacked again. All it takes with any website is one wrong move like a file permission and it is all over.

Don't waste your time on the in help able.

Amazing how amateurish and trivial advice were here. About a poor quality software that sits atop something that is a a science for them, somebody else's database.
Then, they started exploring the mysteries beyond their reach, told (vB staff did that) to the customer he has a bugger in his nose, ridiculed and did nothing.

Other than welcoming even less introduced boiler-room vultures.

Instead, a good product would have never needed them nor any discussion. Not even this site.
It would, simply, work.

Wow, just wow. SMH.

Since the OP is no longer looking for advice, now is probably a good time to just close this thread.

The only amazing thing here your attitude.

Since you clearly know far better than everyone else, feel free never to ask for any advice here again.

I would close this, but it seems Lynne beat me too it.
