What can I do guys? I just got hacked and my everyone who has an account to the admin control panel had their account deleted!!! What can I do to get back in and fix it. Some of the info on the board does not need to be open to the public.

With the original vB comes a script called "getadmin.php". Have you ever tryed to use it to get back your admin-rights?

And maybe someone has moded it to get access to your board. I don't if its working or if someone can use it to abuse, my knowledge in PHP and MySQL is to small to understand this script, maybe FireFly or an other Moderator can tell.

Good luck!!

Yeah, I am trying to get a hold of the getadmin.php. I realized that they removed it from the folder after installation was complete. But I am trying to get a hold of that to use now. But if that was not in the folder, how could he have done the things he did?

jason, don'y use getadmin.php, due to security issue, i make addadmin.php for you, is a more secure way to add an admin. run it and you will add yourself as admin with a password and email already integrated. let me know how it went.

also check your email.. or get on msn messenger..

ok jason, i just had a pribvate discussion with firefly, he debated your case with other devellopers and they came to the conclusion that it's all related to your host, not VB. in a way we came to the same conclusion, me and you, after discussiong in detail all the aspects of your setup. now that you upgraded to v222, change your account provider password. until then, to stop others create other accounts, even if this is just a small hack, the hacker can easily undo it, do this:

open root/admin/global.php and find the code:

PHP Code:


			
if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0 and $checkpwd) {

replace it with:

PHP Code:


			
if (($bbuserinfo[userid]==0 or $loginusername!="catwoman" or $loginusername!="batman") and $checkpwd) {

just replace the names i came up with to the real usernames

you can add as many loginusernames you want.

hurry up and change the password!!! lol.. we discuss it enough on messenger..

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
