Today at 10:11 AM Mist said this in Post #8 I got hold of his AIM and tried to get him to confess "how" he did it so i could report the bug at .com but he didn't elaborate...
The cause of this wasn't a bug in vBulletin. The so-called 'hacker' found out one of the administrator's passwords and got it through the front door...

He probably went FTP. I was hacked via FTP a while back by the past owner of the server I am on. He had a riff with the new owners and nailed a bunch of his old accounts on the server.

LOL, and he calls himself a hacker?
I'm sorry to hear about the Rackshack forums, but relieved that vBulletin wasn't the cause, and that the forums are restored.
The site I *used* to review for was hosted by Rackshack and got nuked off the planet a few weeks ago.
The only admin with root access didn't patch, check for errata or backup the site & db. Bye bye 3 years
If Rackshack can get hacked, so can anyone. OpenBSD with SSH all the way for us on our new site and really security paranoid new owners (a trio of us took the leap into ownership and created a new site with forums).
I've ran the same forum almost 14 times over, each time it was hacked by the Owner's (not me) enemies...
IMO, if they want in, they get in - Just try and do your best to make sure whatever they do it's hard for them to do it, you have recent backups, and that they don't damage too much
Mist, you may want to inform Robert, the HeadSurfer at RS, about the person who did this, as I'm sure they would love to get their hands on this character.
