What are the hackers hoping to gain? Don't really understand it...


Forum takedown and takeover.

Switch the forum off, **** it up, steal member information (email addresses) and leave it in a mess for someone to fix!

A lot of hackers just do it for 'fun'.

We looked at a number of hacking blogs posting about how to compromise this forum software and worked a few fixes in to counter these methods. Amazes me that this information is so brazen and openly available. It's theft, it's vandalism and it's against the law.

No passwords are stored for PayPal so they'd only get email addresses.

Of course if people use the same password on here as they do for other email linked services then it becomes a problem, hence I took this very seriously and nipped it in the bud as soon as I saw it!

Quite often get the Database Error when submitting a post, this has gone on for a few month though. Is this the problem the chap is also looking at?



I occasionally get "Driver Error", which makes me wonder how the forum knows about my roadcraft!

Has any noticed less 'driver' error screens? I've not had any since we made some further changes.

That's not the database error.

In fact I've never seen that one (obviously as I'm admin)!

Please don't grace these people with the name 'hacker', there's no skill in what they're doing, it's just irritating and a headache for admins.
