Kjølen Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 As of 8:30 something this morning, I noticed to my horror, that the website hosting my forums, has been defaced. http://yoyade.exquisition.net See for yourself. Anyone have any idea why the website was defaced? >__> I sincerely hope I do not have to make a MIFF what is it now? Seven? *Edit* as an update, it has come to my attention that Wacky_Baccy, the LF member that hosts my forums on exquisition.net, had his site attacked by a webworm. NeverEverNoSanity WebWorm generation 11 to be exact. More updates to come on whether or not this is fatal to the site. So far I can reach all of my image files in my folder and such.

Alien426 Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Do you use phpBB? There is a worm that will attack sites using this forum system. It uses Google to search for web sites using the search "viewtopic.php". You can upadate to prevent this from happening or use this workaround. Guess it's too late for you...

PoM Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 .. If you go http://www.massassi.net (site where you can download mods and stuff for the jedi knight games) If you click "levels and mods" Then, you get the excact same message.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kjølen Posted December 22, 2004 Author Share Posted December 22, 2004 actually, it WAS a phpBB site, but it must attack phpBB hosting hosters, because the entire website is down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien426 Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 The worm uses the viewtopic exploit and thereby changes all .htm, .php, .asp, .shtm, .jsp and .phtm files. Viruslist.com Kaspersky Do you have backups of the files? I guess DBs are not attacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kjølen Posted December 23, 2004 Author Share Posted December 23, 2004 Yes so I've heard. I'll try to see if it resolves itself or whatnot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshi Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 How long have you been waiting to say that? But aren't all major internet forums infested (better word) with trolls, unless you plan to ban them all, there's nothing doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
