Hacked....:(

Hi

i just logged in this forum to ask for help us our forum has been hacked.

Im not the admin of the forum but close friend of him.The admin is very pissed and says will give up cuz everything he done so long is all lost.

Well i would like to ask what we can do in this situation:

Our forum has been hacked for the 2nd time and this time it was successful. We get attacked cuz an other forum hates us. (I dont tell the name of our forum here.).Well first time a moderator acc was hacked and they just messed our forum up. Admin used the tools u got and the back up and everything was ok. Today after 1 month they hacked us again but this time seriusly.
They changed admin pass deleted the site and placed another one and my friend said they also hacked his gmail he was using for the forum!!!!!
We have no access to the forum and i would like to ask what we can do to get administration back.

I know u cant give me any help cuz im not the admin but just tell me if there is way to bring the forum up and other ways to verify that my friend is the founder and give him the access.The forum had many users close to 500 and was very active.
If there is way maybe i convice my friend to keep up with the forum and not give up.

Any information about the forum i can give in pm

Thanks in advance.

The founder can back up the forum here: https://www.forumotion.com/en/utils/

the admin has lost his passwords as they are changed and also the email he used....dont think he can enter these things

It's the original username and password. Those can't be changed.

hmm ill tell him try that...and ill let u know if that worked.
