We've been hacked

Post by Gonzo »

We're sorting it albeit slowly.


Massive thanks to Taans & Newmarket who I can see have deleted hundreds of accounts between them.

Particularly nice to see that Newmarket is calling everyone a cunt in the security log

do we know if they had access to the database?

if so I would encourage everyone who uses their hammerschat password elsewhere to update their passwords, at least on important/sensitive sites

as for website security make sure you're using the latest version of the forum and only install plugins that are properly vetted.. the less the better

I don’t think it was ‘hacked’ per se, they just knew a way around the captcha and joined up approx 250 different accounts.

If we had been hacked, it would still be happening but just by clicking a different option for new sign ups, it’s stopped them.
