K'scripted again -- but we fixed it, again, and again. Sorry "sn1p3r," you don't really scare us. At all. You haven't even found any security flaws with our site, have you? If you're just breaking in through our host, you are a sad, sad "hacker."

To members: we have a backup of the entire database, so there is effectively nothing that the "hacker" can do that will make anything more than minorly problematic. Should he/she/it/they hack it again, we can simply upload the restored database.

I highly suspect these "attacks" have been a result of a vulnerability on the part of our host. It could have also been an SQL injection, but I really doubt it.

However, until we can (1) move the forums to a new host (2) update to all the latest security fixes (3) update passwords, the forums will remain offline so as to avoid losing new updates. Rest assured that your hosting is, likely, safe, although a DB backup could not hurt.

In the meantime, you might want to visit keithneok's unofficial HM board while we're offline if you have any questions or just want to talk :)

Sorry again for the trouble,
HM Staff
