Has your forum ever been hacked? I've had it happen a couple of times but it's because I really pissed off some hackers in the past. :ROFLMAO:
 
Nope, never have been hacked before on a forum or had my forum hacked. I did allegedly have 'CodyTZ' join my ZetaBoards forum years ago and was told by ZB staff to ban him. I cannot find any articles or links on the person, let alone remember anything.

Quite odd to be told to ban someone so specifically without any proof of what they did etc.

There was proof of what this person did on many forums and swore by Zetaboards themselves. Again, this was so long ago. Oh, and I sent a ticket asking them what to do.
 
I'm guilty of having done it twice to two different forums.

I have a few times.

Back in the old days, I was fascinated by turnkey scripts. Many of those were coded very badly, with many unintentional or even intentional backdoors.

It led to defacing episodes of my websites.

They were difficult to fix, but I managed to fix and restore everything.

I'm now super cautious about what I use.
 
Never hacked, but had my forum hijacked by a co-admin. Needless to say that person was not a co-admin for long once I got back into my forum and deleted his account.
Evil person who did that to you! :(
 
Yes once many years ago.It was with Invision Free. Bastard guessed my co admins password and deleted tons of stuff. Once I migrated to zetaboards security was much better. Not happened since. I check EVERYONE who joins
 
Been hacked a couple times. Always happened when I was on a free software like phpBB or MyBB. You get what you pay for I suppose.

Nope.... *knocks on wood*
 
My password has been cracked before, many years ago - back on InvisionFree. Since then I always used better and stronger passwords.

Oh yeah that used to be huge back in the day. If they cracked the password to your email, you'd be doomed. :faint:
