Some idiot screwing with me. · **Released**: 02-26-2008

My forum has been constantly turning on and off..... so now i receive this email

Code:

Alright f**ker..

Here's the deal. You don't want your site going down anymore? You're going to have to do 1 thing.

Give me access to your cPanel for the day. And tomorrow I'll remove my account that has all admin rights. Deal?

How I've been doing it.. hehe.. well, I have a hidden account on your database that has all admin rights. All I want to do is get in your cPanel to copy your database and I'll be on my way.

The way this works is.. you have a lot of users. You'll never find me in the 200,000something users you have. So.. therefore, you need me to give you the account I have so you can delete it. NOW.. replacing your database will not work. For I have a program on my desktop that gives me admin access to any vbulletin forum I want. You want your site safe? Well.. give me your cPanel and we'll call it even. You can change your cPanel password tomorrow.

He keeps turning it on and off how can i put an end to this!!

Only if you let it shake you up. Getting upset or shaken up doesn't fix the problem. Calm heads ALWAYS prevail.

One thing we learned... We need a 'Board Security' Section...

and P.S. This thread has more profanity that a day with my GrandMa

LOL at Grandma. Been there, heard that.

Do you ever stop to think that maybe Fordsho was the real 'hacker' that was trying to learn from us?!?!?!

Just kidding!

p.s. but I never saw the site :P

Well, I know it wasn't me or iogames. That would be giving us both way too much credit for being smart enough to pull anything off even remotely similar.

Heres the way to find him: Goto usergroup manager, then look at all the groups the users, additional users too. If its one too many just delete the user. Or download a copy of your database, and search for (if you have your usertitle for admin "administrator" search that in the database, youll sooner or later find him.)

Worked for me when my boards were getting punked by scripties.

send me his hotmail e-mail address to cyrusphantasm@gmail.com . I hate these type of internet punks and I take GREAT DELIGHT in taking these f**ks out!!!

I will track down everything about him (because I have legal access to MSN), and forward you his IP, real name, location, phone number and anything else tied to his system.

Then you can take legal action if he did anything destructive.. But NEVER GIVE UP YOUR VB ACCESS!!! I had this exact same thing happen to me 3 weeks ago on www.indie2industry.com except this person somehow actually gained access and tried nuking my templates, hell, I'm still fixing my board, look @ this page. This is the last one I have to figure out how to fix(since I'm not a coder).

http://www.indie2industry.com/forum/forum.php

But in return, I locked him out of his home computer (from info from his hotmail address), then reported him to my local FBI office, come to find out, he was local to my area AND have child porn and hacking tools on his computer.. NYS has a no tolerence policy against hackers.

SO BASICALLY, if this dude you're dealing with is tourmenting you via "HOTMAIL" then he's a TOTAL IDIOT... HOTMAIL/MSN is totally tracable on all levels.. Let me know if you need any assistance...

I hate destructive hackers :-(

Although i do understand your angre and frustration, i doubt what you are suggesting/offering here is legal. Please do not use or discuss illegal actions on vBulletin.org.
