Title: Advance warning: forum issues
Post by: RET on October 24, 2013, 01:12:11 PM
Guys, the last few days have been a blizzard of patching the forum after it's been hacked. Although I believe the root cause is now rectified, there is some possibility we'll have to shut it down for further work if the problem recurs.

The hacking does not affect the forum directly, it's just using our server to host phishing content. But it needs to be fixed, or the whole domain will be put off line. And no-one wants that.

cheers RET

SMF published a patch to fix it, and it would seem that has plugged the security hole. The problem did not recur yesterday or overnight since I installed it.

So I think we should be OK now. Thanks everyone for the kinds words and understanding.

cheers
