Whoa. It's back.

And it was an act of "Cyber Terrorism". It was aimed at another site on the DBB's host.

READ ME
IF YOUR SITE IS SHOWING A HACKED PAGE THIS IS DUE TO A "CYBER-TERRORIST" ATTACKING A SITE HOSTED ON THIS SERVER THAT HAD INFORMATION ABOUT THE RECENT IRAQI WAR. THE SERVER WAS NOT COMPROMISED BUT HE/SHE DID USE A SCRIPT (no longer will run) THAT WROTE TO /TMP AND IT EXECUTED FROM THERE, HENSE GOT ROOT ACCESS (read up on forums about the security hole, as it is common this server somehow did not get patched on deployment in our post install process) AND REPLACED ANY INDEX.HTML with theirs. ALL YOU WILL HAVE TO DO IS UPLOAD YOU INDEX.HTML FROM BACKUP AND ALL IS FINE. THE SERVER NOR ROOT IS COMPROMISED, EVERYTHING IS SECURED.


Quote:
We have recently discovered that the server had been hacked by a group of website defacers calling themselves ir4dex, there ips were logged and all cpanel accounts have been restored, we regret to inform you that you will have to upload every index file that was on your space, we apologize, please be aware that this wasnt a security breach, someone ran a php script on the server that replaced all the index files and has been dealt with, the FBI has been informed because this attack effected an american/iraqi war website, considering it Cyber-Terrorism.

Sorry folks, I don't know what happened. From what I gather the server hiccuped. I'm sure we could blame it on the fact that UBB sux0rs or the war in Iraq but my guess is PETA stormed the server room mistaking us for "The Decent Butchers Board" Image

(Who ever thought you could wield chilidogs to combat terrorists?)
