HACKED
Hey there!
I got a bit of an issue with my forum being hacked. There is only one other administrator on the forums besides myself. His account was hacked into, and that password was changed. The hacker also changed the option of receiving emails for a new password so "i lost my password" doesn't work.
On top of this he disabled my admin panel so I can't do anything about this :S
The founder also doesn't remember his initial log in details to try to recover the forums through the utilities and I don't think back ups were ever made.
I just want to restore the forums back to normal
Any help would be great!!
Thanks

Re: HACKED
just panicking about the hacker deleting everything on there
that would really suck
is there ways to prevent things like this happening ?
