USERS WITH AFFECTED FORUMS:

1) Make a backup of your database (yes even post-hacked copy)
2) Goto ACP - Usergroup Manager - select each usergroup
3) For each, find 'General Settings' - 'Can Use Custom Title' set to No.
4) Goto your cpanel/web hosting control panel, access phpMyAdmin
5) Select (click) your database for your vB4 forum on the left column
6) On the right side of the page, choose the top tab - 'SQL', a large empty text box should appear
7) Paste the following into the box:

HTML Code:

UPDATE user SET usertitle = replace(usertitle, "Hacked by Team Animus", "")

Hit the Go button.
8) It should say following xxx number of tables affected.. this should match to the number of users (approximately, some aren't affected)
9) Go back to AdminCP - Maintenance - Update Counters
10) Hit 'Rebuild User Titles & Ranks'
11) OPTIONAL - Go back to Maintenance option group on left, hit 'Repair & Optimize'
12) Select 'Check All' in upper right of list of entries
13) Scroll down, check both 'Optimize & Repair', hit OK

because it has an exploit to take out your WHOLE forum and the creator is no where to be seen to fix it yet.

That little bug was a bit more than I would have appreciated. Made me a lot of additional work. I won't install anymore Modifications from you until I can be sure there isn't something like this in again.

I always appreciated your mods, you had a few really great ones. But now I am rather careful.

caracena · #**241** 05-05-2011, 09:06 AM

Valter, thanks for the fix!!!

Hey I've got a little problem. After installing this I can't use the Rules dropdown selector anymore. I can use it, but no matter which set of rules I select it takes me to my homepage.

Any ideas?
