My site was hacked- Ipowerweb users should read this
Edited on Fri Dec-03-04 11:09 AM by belladonna
And it appears it wasn't the only one. Anyone who has an Ipowerweb forum, be very very careful and if you have any problems, PM me.

For my members who've been so patient, we should be back up later this afternoon. I was able to access at least PART of the site today, so I'll try sending out a mass e-mail later.

1. For anyone who uses Ipowerweb
Edited on Fri Dec-03-04 10:32 AM by belladonna
Go to this link and read up on the problem... Ipowerweb has fixed the security problem with a patch, but there are a few simple ways to make sure you don't have evil code hiding anywhere. Do it now and save yourself the headache I've had for the last 24 hours :crazy:

On edit:

Doh, forgot to add the link

32. They might have jacked an innocent users IP address
Edited on Fri Dec-03-04 04:12 PM by miss_kitty
Well, or ignorant user's IP. I always write the abuse team at the ISP. You could, by taking action yourself, seriously fuck up some little old lady whose IP add was used to mask the real perpetrator.

Just a Thought. :)

Sorry for the shit that happened to your site. :(

:hi:

26. I'm hearing that it's not just restricted to Ipowerweb now
That's why I was curious. Is your site a forum? If so, I can tell you a quick way to look for the code. Mine went down a couple of times and came back up before it crashed for good.... so be careful.

28. Everything is still there
I was able to access the admin functions last night and did a full backup, so when we come back up, it should be exactly as it was yesterday when it went down. Still working on it... hoping I get it done before I have to go to work.
