vBadvanced CMPS - Check and ensure your on the most recent version, it has and will continue to have it's own exploits from time to time just like any other script although the most current from what I've read is secure

Ok all. Get this. I performed all the suggestions from above. Changed the admin and mod cp. Added my name to the unalterable in the config file. My site ran fine for awhile. Then this afternoon it said 'database error' when I tried to load it. I 'viewed source' and it stated a 1049 error. I contated my host and they said the database was corrupt. It looks like they had to restore it to my prior changes.
So apparently they had to restore it to the changes that were in place to when the hacker had control.???!!!!????? I mean really I am at a loss for words now. Does this person somehow have a way to corrupt my database now if I prevent them from getting in my CP? or is this a coincedence? This has got me losing my mind. --------------- Added [DATE]1319435892[/DATE] at [TIME]1319435892[/TIME] --------------- Hello Mark, We understand your frustration. We would like to inform you that your domain is hosted on a shared server. There were slight load issues with the MySQL server and was the reason for it got corrupted. We have restored the database from the latest available backup dated Oct 21 2011. If you have a more recent backup for the database "thepubli_forum", you may kindly upload the same to your home directory and let us know, so that we will restore the same for you. Also, if you think that your domain has faced some hacking attempts, we would recommend you to : 1. change your cPanel password often 2. set default permission for files and folders , ( i.e. 644 for files and 755 for folders ) from File Manager in Cpanel 3. not to set 777 permission for any file/folder including public_html 4. not to set ownership of any file/folder to "nobody" under public_html Thanks & Regards, Jase

Databases sometimes get corrupt. Not very often but sometimes. That is why it is always recommended to make database backups before/after you do major changes.
