Anyway - I think it's a very valid suggestion - I'm frankly surprised it hasn't been mentioned before really. At anyrate - yes - A how-to prevent hacking/steps to reorder after being hacked forum would be very nice IMO

Great suggestion - I doubt it will be implemented though - but we can always hope that vB.org and/or vB.com shows an interest in helping those who have had their $160+ vBulletin forum hacked by providing such an informational NEW section.

And I'm equally sure that there is a great bulk of helpful and invaluable suggestions/information to be added in the NEW section from the talented Coders of this vBulletin Community that would help immensely in such a case as having been hacked...

the first words are always : BACKUP YOUR DAMN DATABASE AND KEEP IT SAFE...

if you can't follow that, forget about securities...
dang TROLL!

LOL - well my view is this...

Quote:
My view: All information is already there, but people tend to ignore it until too late. No new section will change that.
If there IS a new section - Members could go directly to that new section to find the information they need quickly, efficiently and without any hassle, rather than having to use that most ridiculous vB.org search mechanism LOL - There's no doubt about it IMO - If I have a wonderful product such as a vBulletin application to SELL - then I WANT to provide my customer with THE BEST informational source there is to PROTECT their investment - especially considering the nature of the internet and having read about peoples' experiences with having been hacked.

I'd recommend putting the NEW section on the very forum index.

Anyway...

Jacquii.

since security is mostly a hosting/server related issue since standard vBulletin is pretty secure, couldn't everyone just use the Hosting forum here that really doesn't get much more then a "I NEEDZ NEW HOSTZORS!!" threads?

I think a re-purposing of the hosting forum (plus some security related stickies) would be a great compromise. vb.org search can be a little...hard to wade through sometimes.

Nexialys, such 'infallible attitude' surprises me, can you tell me if here in vB.org we don't have 'dormant hackers'? we are 100% safe?

if there is dormant hackers in the mod team or the admins, that will be hilarious when he make his coming-out, because it would be a really lazy hacker who is dormant for years...

nobody who is not IN CHARGE have access to the core elements of vb.org ... that's part of the securities... this is helping on the paranoid attitudes...

and actually, nobody can even be sure.. maybe Paul is trying to hide some secret means...

Well, I for one think both ideas are great. We really don't need it until we do need it and then we should have it. And then not have it until we need it again.

I'll let you guys work the details out for that.

Thank you,
