Is anybody else getting a dodgy turkish hacker on chris's site not doing anything on any other site thanx

[bigred5765]

same thing happend to my forum last week unfortunatly i didnt have stuff backed up :(

[Chris Doughty]

some hacker decided that I should be sponsored by Turkey as well...

kind of looks cool, I might run a turkey flag on my cars now

I would run a full virus check on your machine if you have tried my site, just to be safe

[Chris Doughty]

if that is the case he could be doing the rounds of 'our' websites, Jimmy, I recomend very highly that you grab a back now, and have very regular backups

[tonymon]

thats wierd, ive just got that message, it freaked me out!!!!

[Spencer Mulcahy]

Thank god its not just me thought I had bought the wrong mushrooms

[jimmy]

Its backed up, but still I have no idea what else I can do. Can't see anything on the Vbulletin forums that mentions any particular security flaws but Im gonna install the latest update anyway. This is a bit bollocks int it. Carl mentioned about his the other day and I thought it was a one off like, but now doughty as well, madness :(

[tonymon]

does this mean doughtys site is down for everyone??????
and wat is this turkey actually doing there??????

[nick oliver]

1:yes
2:duno

[Spencer Mulcahy]

What is the point in messing with a site like Chris's or Carls realy dont understand it we are a harmless bunch.

[nick oliver]

I know its pointless:mad: i was talkin to someone on msn before and we were saying they prob think its funny:rolleyes::eek: Well its not :(, Hope you get it sorted mate!;)

[jimmy]

Bizzare, I know carl lost everything but Doughty still seems to work, tho with a mad bit of madness going on.

[Slimboyfat]

got some dodgy music going on too, must think their clever or sumat. not really though................ i would have hacked into a bank or something if it was me!

[nick oliver]

Good thinking OJ;)

[Chrislong]

Terminator music, I actually quite like it, maybe I should now do a virus scan after listening to it.

Turkey + virus = Doughty site struck down by Bird Flu!! :rolleyes:

Hope it gets resolved, before the withdrawl symptoms kick in for us all! :(

[Spencer Mulcahy]

Jimmys site is going to get a record number of users are there any turkish conections in your family Jimmy "Ive dyed my hair taken over doughty and carls site next the worrrllllddd whaa whaaa whaaaa" :smile: :smile: Note to self stop drinking stella.

I think you will find, that all being daft and silly, this is a form of terrorism, disrupting the flow of information done in the eye's of muslims.

My main forums (ApexSpeed.com) was hacked a couple of weeks ago by some "Turkish" hacker group. It was a flaw in the vB code that allowed someone to alter the code in the Style Sheets we all use, and it redirected the forum visitor to a different page on the web. Once I installed a vB update, the problems were gone. It isn't a virus, it's some snot-nose 12-year old power hungry brat with nothing better to do that waste people's time.

Update your vB to the current software and you should be fine.

I think the reason they target 'small' 'personal' sites is that they don't have the skills to do things like google, or msn or the big players on the internet.

they just research the web for posted 'loop holes' in certain version of forums and portals and use the known exploits.

Just to let you know, when I booted up this morning, and opened up Mozilla, it opened up all the same Tabs I had open last night.... so virus scan here we go!!

done a full scan with avg no virus found on my pc so hope this might reassure you but be carefull especially if your firewall is dropped also run windows defender nothing found

[tonymon]

i did a full scan on norton last night after going on to doughtys site, and nothing found, so either the firewall is keeping stuff out or there is no virus going around with it

edit: ive just noticed sumthing wierd, the digits on the top of the main page is in the turkish falg design

[DCM]

once I have finished running a virus scan, will run a spyware scan also.

[darryl]

done both on mine and all clear

[ApexSpeed]

They are just changing code in the forum software where there are holes. I don't think there is any threat of viruses unless you downloaded something and opened it up manually. Keep your spyware blockers updated. ;)

I had that at work mate, not sure what it is, a feature or a bug in firefox.. was quite useful tho! :)

[jimmy]

I'm running the latest version of Vbulletin now, so, hopefully a lil more secure.

[Chris Doughty]

its a bit old with some features missing but its a bit more normal now

[ApexSpeed]

Time warped back to 2005—damn, I'm back to having 5 posts over there. :o


Looks like you lost a bit, eh Chris? Not good... Damn Turks. :(

[MikePimlott]

AVG is not that good at finding viruses and spyware, If you using a seperate spyware as well like spybot or Stinger you stand a chance but if youve been hit by a hacker youll probably find that the Virus doubles whenever you turn your PC on (un-traceable).
I Recomend that you try www.ewido.net and download there free edition. Its a Mal-Ware checker and finds alot more than usual freebies (AVG, Spybot).

oh and in scanner settings, set it to check every file.

[Gemma]

Chris,

I noticed this earlier, when loads of 0111011001111 data jargon scrolling al over the page.

Hope you get it sorted matey!!

I have not finished yet, I should be able to merge the current and the backup SQL database to get it all more recent

the music and that flag were pretty cool though, Jimmy, any chance of a turkish flag sticker?

[bigred5765]

i was told of my service provider go through ur site and make sure files not need to have write mod to chmod to read only so exploits are not accessable

[PaulRotheram]

chris, he didnt even hack it right :rolleyes:

ive actually got the page here that the n00b was trying to show us, it was in all the text that was jubbled at the bottom.

rofl... I got it back quite close to how it was, some problems still to work out.

I have seen what the hack *should* look like and he made a real bodge of his hack on my site...

the proper hack looks pretty good actually.... lol
