Hacker attack on the Forums

Post #1

Post by ENIGMA »

When I tried to access the forums from a different computer, I typed in www.debatingchristianity.com and found a blank page with the following:
Antrax Gr0up ownz you - Dead_Clown == Greatz: Cool_Code and Shaman286
Considering that they only changed the redirect from the url to the forums, it seems quite likely that they are just a few script-kiddies with too much time on their hands.

However, either way, I would recommend that everybody check their bookmarks and, if necessary, update the one for this site by having it refer to:

http://www.debatingchristianity.com/forum/index.php

That is all, I think...
Gilt and Vetinari shared a look. It said: While I loathe you and all of your personal philosophy to a depth unplummable by any line, I will credit you at least with not being Crispin Horsefry [The big loud idiot in the room].

OK, I fixed the redirect page. I'm going to have to figure out how they did that. If anybody has a clue, send me a PM.

OK, after doing a little research, I figured out the problem. There was an exploit hole with highlighting. I've now plugged up the hole.
