| 1421979 | 2016-06-15 20:26:00 | Found this: "A cursory search of the list of domains caught up in the hack revealed that none of the sites we checked offered basic HTTPS website encryption, which would prevent usernames and passwords from being intercepted. Many of the forums ran versions of vBulletin software dating back to 2007. Most were running software versions that were easily exploitable by hackers with known vulnerabilities. A blog post from security reporter Brian Krebs from 2013 showed that older versions of the vBulletin forums that were vulnerable could be easily searched with readily-available attack tools. It's not clear who carried out the hack. A LeakedSource group member said it was "not related" to the recent hacks against MySpace, LinkedIn, and Tumblr." Link: www.zdnet.com |

| 1421983 | 2016-06-16 05:46:00 | That is the problem with paid/subscription based forums. Back from 2007, monetary situations may have been great for the forum, but eventually numbers increases the server increases in costs to cater and eventually you cut back on upgrading and get left behind when support stops and you will remain vulnerable. I believe this forum is no longer supported as the version is outdated and is too falling behind. Your information maybe at risk. |
