Someone hijacked lappy's account, sending me random crude messages, adding to my warn level for no reason, etc.

I'm not even sure that this topic will show up. It's apparent to me now that the person made it so that none of my posts show up until they're approved by a moderator. If a moderator happens to stumble upon this, help?
lappy512
This is serious; I will now be manually disabling and reenabling my account when I use it, until I find a solution.
chuck
we need to find the source of the problem, or kl could have an even bigger problem than the kc incident.
test
Most likely I can patch it; it's probably a recent security patch I have not applied to this forum.

Read the topic title!
chuck
but he said he would turn his account on manually when he was using it.
guitar_freak22
It seems we have had another bobbyd1234 incident. Is there anyway to ban his IP address Lappy? I am not sure if he hijacked your account, but he was posting profanity and spam as far as the eye could see. It would also be helpful to know how to permanently ban someone.
Mario
this is huge!Someone here knows the admin's password and has unlimited power now ohmy.gif
guitar_freak22
I think new security is in order.
Timebandit
yeah, after the KC and know this.

I said, I am not sure if bobbyd1234 hijacked Lappy's account, but he made new multiple accounts. I may have been a little off topic.

You saved your image as a bitmap. Open your image, go to "Save As," and in the drop-down menu below the textfield where you name your file, choose PNG instead of 24-bit bitmap.

Someone has used some vunerability of this forum to hack into my account; this was not physical. I am currently trying to patch this board so this won't happen again./

However, there is no way of getting passwords, since this uses one way encryption to encrypt your password. To check if it is the same password, it encrypts your password and checks with the previously encrypted password to see if it's correct.

Just out of curiosity, does the database log attempted log-ins?
lappy512
No, and not by IP either. When he did the stuff to mynck, it didn't get his IP.

Anyways, the admin console is secure. So secure you don't want to even try getting in biggrin.gif

So, the hacker can't do anything too bad.

Well if it doesnt log attempts, someone could just hack together a little brute force program, and you'd never notice.

Edit: I bet there's already one on the net, and this was just a script-kiddie.

IPB has a bunch of recent vunerabilities.
Alecto
vB has the feature of max attempted trys per IP >_>

Sometimes that option is not there, so if it isn't, just type .png at the end of the name.

Very interesting. A fair accusation, but I assure you it was not me. I do not have the skill required to do so. I would not even know where to start. And I do not think my computer is new enough to do that either.

Looks like I'm rubbing off on you Genesis, you got the bad "accuse someone of something" thing going here. The whole KC conspiracy was a mistake, and now look what has happened. KC won't come back. sad.gif
