About what happened
« on: May 12, 2011, 05:07:10 pm »
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.

I'd say it's a VC-MP player banned on SvM.
