Well, this is a novelty.
The forum (www.petes-emulation.com) from my emulation site, petes-emulation.com has been hacked.
It now sports a lovely banner that says "Hacked by sebofan"
The image properties link to a geocities account, so I've registered a complaint with them, but what else can I find out except that the guy's in Turkey?

403629 2005-11-12 00:20:00 The hacker is part of a team (or claiming to be) which are doing the rounds at the moment taking advantage of unpatched phpBB forums.

Have a read of this for advice (www.phpbb2.de).

If you google for TurkHack Team you will find more information. Have you checked your logs for an IP that you can trace?

Update your forum software as well pronto. :)

403630 2005-11-12 00:26:00 Thanks for that, Jen.
The site's hosted by a mate of mine in Rhode Island. Trying to contact him now.

403631 2005-11-12 00:29:00 BTW, you do realise that they just didn't leave the banner, that one (if not more) of the Admin user accounts (user ID2) has been hacked. That needs to be addressed immediately as well. The whole forum will probably need going over with a fine tooth comb and checked for other traces of their hack. Jen (38)

Yeah. All Admin accounts have been locked & posts credited to any Admin have been credited to TurkHackTeam.

At least I've got the weekend to sort it out. Great excuse to stay home & look into this, rather than going out & visiting the outlaws.... er... inlaws.

They don't have much web design skill. They could at least improve on the phpBB design :rolleyes:
