rejected 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2005 Easlier today my site was hacked, and everything was deleted, and the index.html file had some very nasty vulgar pictures, and then it said it was hacked by crappy html and had a link to http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/. Does anyone know any ways that I might not know to stop hackers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

7r33 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2005 Well they may have done it thew anonoumous ftp... but i think theres a little thing called raw logs and userlogs or something along them lines look in the logs and see who else was on as a adimin by looking at there ip and if it is not yours then look up the ip and call there isp....

Second, did you have a message board? If so, did you use a source code called whiteFyre? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maddog39 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2005 Man, alot of websites are being hacked that way. I think I have seen 3 so far. I remember phpbb.com was hacked that way. What I suggest you do is, post a message on your website that explains that you have been hacked and your rebuilding the site and it will be shut down till further notice, etc., etc. Then password protect your directories and limit all access to the site in anyway you can. Then slowly rebuild your site and bring it back up. A chance of a hacker even wanting to try and hack it again after that I think is pretty low. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inty 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2005 Hello, I'm the co-owner/administrator of omegagateway.comEither someone is setting us up, or you are lying (not accusing, just stating that those are the only two possible scenarios here). Go through any records you have if you have any doubt, check referrer sites, etc. If you think we did anything after all that, feel free to contact me via the account you signed up at my site with and I'll assist you in any way possible. Any case, this was brought to my attention and I felt the need to make a statement. Sorry for what happened; in our site's beginning days we were hacked three times and we still prospered. Best of luck friend ~joeynova Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
