Alright, As many of you noticed we got hacked.
At around 8AM this morning a guy, which is still unknown, used Charley's account to change the forum.
We do not know for sure how he got he password (We have some ideas, but not confirmed).
He changed most of the user's avatar to a Justin Bieber image.
He changed the Logo to a image saying OWNED.
He removed the whole Vice City Ladder Category, so including all topics for those boards.
He changed my password.
He put the forum into maintenance, so no one except Charley (Him) could use the forum as he was the only "Administrator" who could login and do stuff.
After I got informed I changed my own password, downloaded the (now 600MB, it got big after so many visits :P) access log, and tracked down his IP.
Since this IP belongs to a Server Company, and I have contacted them about the abusive usage of their server and they said they will look into it.
Im waiting on that now.
We've kept the forum in Maintenance mode until the email from the company arrived (Or when we though it was safe to do).
I've also restored most of the settings, except the removed Category (Ladder), and the avatars.
If you would like to change your avatar back to what it was, please do so :) I guess you still have it somewhere.
If not, I might can help you out. Just shoot me a PM ;)
I hope we can find this guy, and punish him in some way, and I hope it won't happen again.

Alright we have some very good news.
It turns out it was a brother of someone on the forums. For privacy reasons I will not say who it was, but you get the point.
He used a bug in one of our Mods used on the forums, and gained access to the admin panel that way.
He changed Charleys password, and used his account to make the changes here on the forums.
Luckily, He didn't know passwords are highly encrypted saved in the database, but he tried to download a database dumb (He though the passwords are saved as plain text) and saved it on his computer (Which he shares with this member). He did this before any changes were made, and this member emailed me this dump. Luckily this dump contains the VC Ladder, and the Applications board so I should be able to restore them ;)
Thanks to "this member" for slapping his brother and get the truth out of him ;)

EDIT: I was able to restore all topics, boards, messages and categories. Avatars are still fucked tho, The dump didn't have them (Well they did, but the Justin Bieber ones :P ) so you gotta change that yourself.
Ladies and gentlemen, We're back.
-
yepee everything is alright now :)
-
Oh btw, it could be that every topic and board looks unread to you, Just visit this (http://vu.vrocker-hosting.co.uk/index.php?action=markasread;sa=all) link and it should be fine :)
