Hacked By Genki

Hi guys,

could you guys check wtf is going on here?

I logged into the forum, and that was the only thread there.

Is there anything wrong here, looks a bit suspect

Cheers
Jako

Have you visited that forum before? I mean, was it populated and stuff...?

Looks to me like someone hacked the board, deleted the db, and replaced it with a barebones one...

yeah, I have made 1 or 2 posts there, it was populated,
I think you are right, someone probably deleted the whole DB

seems like this place was also hacked

when i want to login, then:

Indeed i think some guy hacked your site and deleted all data / columns from database

by the way Nofriends, i'm interested in the icons you use on the page of the first link you provided. is it possible you provide me with some icons / buttons which i don't have access to (like a logout_icon or logout button?)
Can you create these icons / buttons yourself or did you get them for free with the forum?
Thanks.

Jerome

Hi Jerome,

Its not my site but the creator of the site is also a member here
His name is Shem, I am sure he will let you know how/where he got
the images, I will send him a PM and ask him to check out this thread

looks like this hacker is quite active...
he somehow got shem's password, most probably using SQL injection attack.
Shem is better learn how to secure the pages before trying again, otherwise
it would be hacked again.
as for the delted DB, that's what backup is for...

thanks NF !

Its kinda sad that the victims in these attacks have their work ruined by one thoughtless individual. I know its a double edged sword that they should have thought about security in the early stages of the design process, but to think of the countless hours spent coding, designing and testing and to have it all ripped apart in a matter of a hacker's keystokes. Like I said - sad.

I would hate it to happen to any of my projects
it really sucks! some hackers are evil.

if it's any comfort, it happens to the best... MRF were hacked couple
of years ago and those forums had more members than the whole
devshed community as far as I remember.

My friend's site got hacked about 2 years ago, I posted there a lot. The people that hosted the server lied about backing up the database regularly, and so he had to get hosted by another group. It was a complete PHP Nuked (literally nuked lmao ) website. One day I came to post, and there was only one forum, with one post, "Hacked by [ican'tremember]" I felt sorry, but it wasn't a deep cut because it was a very small community.

The search is quite funny because you'll see one titled:
`LHS ServeBeer Website!!`
I was so excited about my website that I even emailed the Debian technical support email, and now I feel totally embarassed
LHS is my high school, and I couldn't tell students about it because my teacher said that `beer` is not appropriate for a URL, that is to be shared on the marker board of our class, it was a very emotional time of my life...
