Deleted posts from Book Forum and Games and Quizzes Forum

darrenstraight · 10-09-2005, 03:17 AM

Has you may or may not be aware all posts from the Book Forum have been deleted and many posts from the Games and Quizzes forum have also been deleted.

I have now found out that this is not a glitch with MySql or anything else but the cause of somebody hacking into Dude66 Computer and gaining access to all of his passwords which unfortunately gained the Hacker access to the moderator section of GC so he could delete these topics and posts!

Dude66 as now gained access to his account and all of his passwords have been changed, though he has changed his passwords it leaves open the question whether he’s fit for the moderator team or not even if it’s not entirely his thought I have temporary removed him from the moderator team as a precaution, his return to the moderator team at this point is unknown.

Hopefully intelliot will have a recent backup but I'm a little worried that he doesn’t.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused by this and I will put measures in place to make sure this never happens again.

-Darren

sigh.
Silly little vandals. I just have to wonder what sort of sad twit regards this as some kind of 'accomplishment'.

Pathetic.

You, the one who removed the forums, mind you that I'm not pointing to Dude66, as he MIGHT not have done it, I'm pointing to the hacker, if you are Dude66 or not, you!!, God will curse you and I hope from the bottom of my heart that you will fail at life. Come one, how dare you, you senseless, unworthy kid(?), how dare you to remove those lovely forums?

This is pathetic. Any possible outcome of this should leave dude66 powerless. If he deleted the posts himself, or if he is too unknowledgable to secure his own PC, then he shouldn't have moderator power here.

darrenstraight · 10-09-2005, 08:29 AM

Well I have the email of the person who did it but he hasent been online!

I think we're being a bit harsh on Jack here.. it's not his fault. But I do agree with the temporary removement

tokkolo · 10-09-2005, 08:31 AM

That's what happened! I already though I was going crazy with the regular topics in the games forum gone

Thanks Darren for being on top of this

(or is this dumb english I'm speaking now?, nevermind)
