    • The RPG on my site got pretty much destroyed by a hacker/cracker/asshole around the first of last month. I wish people would get a life.

    It has happened to all of us. Well, here is my diagnosis of what happened, how they hacked PC and how to stop further intrusions like these.

    They used a vBulletin cracker and it uses the includes/config.php file to connect to MySQL and get admin passwords. Now, we should .htaccess protect the includes/ folder like I have on my boards.

    • I'll go ask my friend about if he knows anything about this goat clan thing or this vBulletin cracker. They're probably a bunch of noob hackers that use simplistic programs to try and make themselves look cool. lol

    • They somehow gotten their hand on the folders (config.PHP, ETC). I think there's one that have the passwords and stuff? I mean there got to have it or vbulletin can't create acounts.

    The logical thing to do would be to do a whois look up, and report them to their local authorities. Either that OR report this to the FBI

    • Pfft, reporting them won't do anything. Hacking groups aren't stupid enough to make it easy to find out who they are.

    • They may have been using a proxy, so it would be much harder to find their true IP.
