Whoops - Did Rob's Account Get Hacked?

[Goolam]

Rob - a most unusual (for a motorbike forum) series of pictures!

Anyone with a contact number for Rob might want to let him know about the rather unusual post entitled "Sex Videos"

[ahh]

Are we all affected if Rob is hacked?
Does this mean we should all change our passwords and contact emails?

<s>Everything normal from my end.

Am I missing something here?</s>

Got it. Taken care of now. It shouldn't happen again.

It was a weakness in the post.asp combined with a rather weak password for my account. I've identified where it has come from, and posting was as far as it went.


Sorry about that! [V]

Oh, and for the record, I can't even see what your passwords are. They are encrypted in the database. To actually find out what they are, one would need direct DB level access and quite a bit of time to crack every one.

To get user's emails, I have to go in and edit each account. Every time I do, I have to re-verify my password.

If I were a hacker, this platform wouldn't be my first target for attack. It just would take too long to get anything. There is quite a bit more low hanging fruit out there.
