| Boy oh boy..... what a terrible time last month.
We can only apologize for the down time we have had, many of you have missed your daily fix of the BBG site, as have I.
We were hit by a hacker who inserted SQL code into the registration forms, this scrambled our database and our forums , and he also had malicious code to redirect to his porn sites. That part did NOT work because of security that we already had in place.
What we have done: (we being Steven Lanz and Mike Marble)
Restored the site back to last know good point
Upgraded the Forum software
Upgraded Security on forums
Added code to protect forms
What we lost temporarily ,
verification of new members to prevent the bots doing auto registrations
Many small admin tasks that were coded into our forums - like adding the BBG logo
What we will do in future.
Monitor security and manually backu Read blog... |
