We'll all pray along... ironicly enough, your avatar seems to be broken here as well.... It was stored in the same folder as the other images. I've fixed my avatar now though hopefully.

Update - Ian has changed required admin pages passwords. I have changed the FTP password too and site control panel passwords. I should be able to restore the images from the last backup I did, will do this when I get home tonight.

Sweet, glad you guys are around!
Was the back up done recently?
Changing the passwords is of course a good and logic step, but what about a recurring situation? I'm pretty sure this a-hole is keeping track of what he hacked and will probably come back to see what the effect was and see if he can do it again... The only possible reason would be is to piss people off so...

Luckily I personally have not done any major site work for about two months other than finishing the rarity numbers. That's easy to redo if need be. I'm going to keep a back-up myself from now on. Thanks a ton Andy, I was pretty bummed about this.

Images being restored as I write this, the backup was from the end of January unfortunetly, but I don't know what has been added in the way of images since that date, but hopefully we won't have lost much. The problem is we don't really know how the site was compromised, it would seem that he was able to delete the images at a directory level, which would suggest access to our FTP rather than some kind of SQL injection exploit, but you would think if they had the FTP password they would have changed it? Ian has removed a potential database access exploit (which we always knew was there but played the odds nobody else did). Apart from securing it as much as possible there isn't a whole lot more we can do without knowing how they got in. It's very strange that out of all things to do all they done was change the main page and delete the images folder, there is a lot more on there they could have done (PDFS of manuals etc).Maybe we should count ourselves lucky. Doing a quick Google search for this name reveals 2 results www.google.co.uk/#sclient=psy&hl=en&site=&source=hp&q=H%40b0ubaM!x&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&pbx=1&fp=b8a752de2e5c2bce&biw=1038&bih=710 one of the targets seems to be a site for deaf people, so looks like this group or person doesn't really discriminate.

Glad to see it's all back.
Dumb question? Did this have something to do with the hint sheets? I mean why was his "message" put there? Was it because they were recently added or some other reason?

He edited the hint sheets page to display the hacked message. I think he chose this page only because it was the latest news story on the homepage. I'm hoping everything has been restored and is now secure. If anyone comes across a missing image or content anywhere on the site let me know and I'll try restore it. Thanks for you support and concern with this guys.

Thank YOU for the reset!
I can still see his signature under the logo here on the forum. Other than that I can't really see anything out of the ordinary yet.
Oh, and next to the links of where you're at in the forum (only on the front page)

I wonder who else can or can't see that. Edit Oh wait, yes I do see it but that's just the thread title or do you mean you see that no matter what you're looking at?

Hmmm, Andy, do you me end of January of THIS year or last year? I seem to recall I had finished the game pictures before last Christmas, but I could be wrong. Either way they appear to be all gone other than a few, so I'll have to redo them again. Groan... At least it's something I have ready at hand, unlike the banners I worked so hard on. Thankfully those were done a long time ago.
