AO is back and on track

[Webmaster]

Howdy,

It looks like we got AO back and running at full steam. Much thanks to RICH from Delaware.net. He installed the new forum software and repaired corrupt tables and databases. He is the man. Thanks Rich.

At this point it looks like a lot of the attachments were deleted. But other than that we came out in decent shape.

What happened? Dunno exactly. Islamic hackers defaced the site and deleted somethings. My guess is through a PHP security bug. It may have been through a compromised FTP account.

At any rate - we are back and doing fine. If you do have problems or errors you see, feel free to email me about it! Rich still needs to put back in the applet for the ads (thus the broken image link) but other than that, we are good to go!

thanks and welcome back!

good job guys on getting the forums back up, i just succeeded in doing the same for the place i work for and man it wasen't too easy. although ours was more of an equipment failure than a hack/hijack but nevertheless still not too fun.

[SpecialBlend2786]

awesome, glad everything is (almost) back up.
Nice work webby.

[Chipper]

Anyone know what the "Islamic Hackers" wrote on the front page? It looks pretty freaky.

[Maggot6]

Jack and Coke (Ithink) got that translated on his thread.
Yay AO...Over at pbnation we were coming up with some interesting conspiracies.

Do Hack_Man and PipE get added to the top of the ban list ???

hahaha nice.

I'm still surprised they would even come near AO when we've got Army, OS, Edweird, Doobie and the lot...

:D

Islamic hackers defaced the site and deleted somethings.

At least that's what the hackers want us to think.

[Temo Vryce]

I'm gald to see that Webby and friends were able to get AO back up and running.

[digitard]

They did the same thing to ServerBeach's forums too. Its a bug in that edition of VBB.

Glad its up.

[warpspyder]

Lol that's why for my forums I use a CMS known as Land Down Under (Here) (http://www.neocrome.net). They haven't had many problems as far as backdoor security risks and hackers that some of these other well known ones have. From what I read it doesn't look like it would have mattered, but I know how difficult it can be when somthing happens, and you guys got it back up in an amazing amount of time. Kudos!!
