Hi all
my copy of efiction was hacked this week! Please be aware that the bad behaviour is being hacked by hackers in efiction. They put in numerical codes and figures and try to gain access to the admin panel too and take over your account. Bad behaviour was not enough on my site. It is now all lost and no more. Each time I do a backup and restore of the database, the hacker then puts another code on it and it loses it all again.
So please be aware! certain sites are being targeted right now and hackers are finding new scripts to combat bad behaviour and other anti viruses, I know who is doing mine and they have now been reported.
so take care guys. I enjoy your sites, I hope u don't get hacked like mine. Ive now deleted the entired site and moved to a new domain.
regards Kate
Kate, I'm sorry to hear about your site!
I've had a fellow moderator at an eFic site tell me they're getting spammed a lot and getting all their bandwidth chewed up and just looking at our own Bad Behaviour stats there's been a HUGE increase in access attempts, usually it reads somewhere between 75~150 but right now it's pushing 2000.
What else can we be doing to protect our sites?!
I am actually not sure how bb2 should lead to the site getting hacked since its abilities are pretty limited, all it can do is read and write from its log table, it can not edit files or do anything else - at least that's how it was built, there can always be bugs allowing for such things to happen.
Anyway I updated the bb2 package in the original thread, might not be a bad idea to upload the bad-behavior core files.
