MiceChat hacked!

Monorail Man · 04-01-2005, 09:03 PM

Yea, I'm pissed. MC got hacked just a few minutes ago. The hackers did 3 weird things:

1. After looking at it, they only killed the User database. I had a feeling something was weird when it logged me off.
2. Then the Backup folder was deleted, and my most recent local backup was from a month ago, so all of those members that registered in the last 15 days is lost.
3. Only the Index.php file was deleted, and replaced with a leet page, and it's too cryptic for any real leet. This sucks.

Sorry to see that. I just was trying to get on over there

What is up with people?!?! Why the need to destroy other folks' stuff/fun/livelihood? And all to get some fleeting "jollies" for themselves.

I'm really sorry to hear about this, MM. Hopefully, you'll be able to get back up and running as soon as possible. I'm sure there must be some kind of extra anti-hack measures you can take for the future?

I had just checked there as well- sorry, MM! DO you have any way to recover, or catch them?

It was an exploit in the PHP I bet, maybe one not even found yet. They also killed any tracks they could have left behind.

That is so ridiculous. I can't believe that there are losers out there who get jollies off of crap like this.

Laaaaaammmmme.

Wow Hastin...your quick!

That does suck. It was SUCH a pain for MouseInfo to get back up and running again after getting hacked. Luckily we have everything working again.

I really do love being an Admin for such a large thriving Disney community.

We're back. Not bad, only lost about 200 members....
