Why the silence?

I really need to read more, or sleep more, I swear, all the text starts to look the same after awhile.

Interestingly, (Or perhaps not) I did a page source code reading of vB dot org while it was down. It showed a 101 error on the server, server down. As with maintenance. There was NO evidence of any "hacking."

Again - why didn't the script kiddies deface the site for their street cred? Why did they have to dummy up a screenshot for their claim?

Oh... Because it never happened.

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to stop by and make sure, we don't need to apply any patches or fixes to our sites, right? Still no vulnerabilities in 4.2.2?

Thanks very much

The best way to protect yourself is make sure you mods have safe passwords and comment out their ability to use HTML.

No if you have the latest release, and deleted your install directory, you are fine.

I can confirm with vB 4.2.2 Installation, You cannot access Admin Control Panel without Delete your install directory?

[ozzy47]

Yeah I believe they added that in there, instead of just making you just delete the file.

take a look at vb.com cannot get in to change anything

[ozzy47]

Strange, I got in and changed my PW no problem, all I did was log in, using my old PW, and then changed it.

[Simon Lloyd]

Yeah vb.com gave out a duff link but if you login and go here go here http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/setti...ngs-module-top you'll be golden!
