Kjølen Posted December 22, 2004 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 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 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..
Kjølen Posted December 22, 2004 Author Posted December 22, 2004 actually, it WAS a phpBB site, but it must attack phpBB hosting hosters, because the entire website is down
Alien426 Posted December 23, 2004 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.
Kjølen Posted December 23, 2004 Author Posted December 23, 2004 Yes so I've heard. I'll try to see if it resolves itself or whatnot.
Fealiks Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 that's sad. Sorry to hear it, K-Jo. I've never heard of "this site has been defaced!" before.... :/
Kjølen Posted December 23, 2004 Author Posted December 23, 2004 Bah, it's no harm done, It'll be fine after a bit. I found it a bit humourous, actually.
Fealiks Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 teehehehe I mean, yes, thats good, thank god. We must all be brave.
Kjølen Posted December 23, 2004 Author Posted December 23, 2004 Now if Lucasforums was infected, THAT would be a big problem to fix.
Fealiks Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 How long would it be down for? god, it'd be hell for weeks, months even!
Alien426 Posted December 24, 2004 Posted December 24, 2004 Originally posted by Kjølen Now if Lucasforums was infected, THAT would be a big problem to fix. According to some (including me) it is infected...
Joshi Posted December 24, 2004 Posted December 24, 2004 You're saying this based on... (I'm just interested)
Fealiks Posted December 25, 2004 Posted December 25, 2004 What do you mean by that, Alien? *sits with legs crossed like an eager (and annoying) 7 year old*
Joshi Posted December 25, 2004 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.
