"Crackers" : I love the biscuits, not the idiots

Written by steet :



 

As you probably heard, someone has found a way to do nasty things on the site, and call himself/herself a "cracker".

That person (or should I name it, "idiot"), began to change passwords and profile information from some moderators accounts. I've been making changes on the site to prevent this, although it's not always easy to find out where the "problem" comes from. I have still some protections to add, but I think it's over now.

From what I could gather, that idiot got ahold of Zekee's old administrator account, and used the forums admin panel to do these stupid things. Obviously I have removed that account, but before I did it, that person deleted several accounts, which are all moderators.

I'm calling this way of acting "stupid", because I have backups and can restore anything. So I have restored all of the deleted accounts, but I also changed the passwords, just in case.

So, if you have a problem and can't connect to your account anymore : send me an email, so that I can solve the problem and/or communicate you the new password.

In a general way : if you have any problem, with your account or anything, just send me an email or PM so that I can study and find solutions. It can take some time, but I always answer and take your opinion into account.

There are always solutions. As long as you talk. Something that idiot has probably forgotten along the way...

Cheers!

May I be given the password of my account now? (I'm Wolflux)

Just send it this way: [email protected]

I'll delete this extra account after I recover mine.

@RayJ: I think the cracker was given access because he used a bug in the forum system to get into Zekee's old account (I think, but I am 99% this isn't the case, Zekee could also have had a finger in the game [note, I STRONGLY doubt it]). Any idiot can exploit a bug, and any idiot can cause havoc on a website. The fact that this is an unimportant BALTO fansite without any real, juicy content he could steal is enough to suggest he is the step beyond an idiot (e.g R-tard).

Why was my comment deleted? Because I didn't have the expected reaction like everyone else? Am I not allowed to speak my opinion (as usual) on crackers?

Glad you got rid of him. He (or she) banned me on a phony charge of multiple accounts. And Tibb_wolf's account is still missing.
By the way, could the next fan-news include a notice for people about how the commenting system works now?
