      [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeHMCHJAoXA#ws]How Bitcointalk org Could Be Hacked Part 1 of 2][/url]

      and what do we do about it?

      +++ Weren’t Bitcoin Forum hacked just after this video was released?

      >>>>>>News…

      The more I look into this potential problem (Scams and Hacks) “Condition Monitoring” by members for this fault is continuous at this membership level, have we hit another 51%?

          well we should worry now >:( As soon as it happened I went to d4tabase.com and created account I have been able to download entire user database no passwords but usernames and emails >:( I wish these people used there skills for something productive, they are no better than the kids that marker tag the local shop shutters >:(. I dint think they got passwords although not completely sure as you need premium account to access some of the site ie VIP area.

                  I think password change maybe a good idea just as a precaution.

                          So we got defaced. I’ve got a copy of the defaced page as it was some neat ASCII art.

                          You can get the source from here.
                          [url=http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.tar.gz]http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.tar.gz[/url]

                          I have updated all the packages on the server and restored the front of the forum. The forum was the only site effected on a server that runs multiple pages for Feathercoin. I’m not yet sure how they managed to deface our site and it may well not be an outdated package on the server. Even though we run the latest version of SMF the forum software we may still be vulnerable.

                          I will investigate further tomorrow. I’m guessing that there is a SMF hack doing the rounds, it would be good to track this down if it is out there.

                              It was pretty cool

                              don’t know if this is what you are looking for Bushstar [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Was3qt_KFtw#ws]Smf forums hack[/url].
                              I know one thing the person responsible for creating the art was not the person who hacked the page. I think the hacker may be in trouble with his vandal mates for removing credits form the animation

                                  Wrong aproach from hack recovering… If it’s 0day it will repeat! Check server processes and find the entry point… I can’t believe what I’m reading here…

                                          If this is the case [url=http://www.jakoblell.com/blog/2013/12/13/multiple-vulnerabilities-in-smf-forum-software/#toc-2]http://www.jakoblell.com/blog/2013/12/13/multiple-vulnerabilities-in-smf-forum-software/#toc-2[/url] intermediate attacker will have quite a lot of info in his hands. Changing all of the accounts on the services that are related in any way to the *.feathercoin.com is must, cleaning server from possible started processes in the background ( check exec, passtrough, … enabled in php ), check from created php scripts that are web accessible ( usualy they are used as backdor ), check crons & hope if attacker doesn’t execute some exploit against host operating system…
