    Solved Someone may be planning to hack my forum

    Post by RevyIzumi July 27th 2011, 2:52 am

    Well, I'm not exactly sure where i should go with this, i don;t see any specific areas for reporting people or anything like that, so i decided to put it here. Basically, some dude got butt-hurt because i IP banned him from my forum, and banned his accounts because he liked talking trash and spreading lies about me. We have a small history, of him banning me from sites where he was staff on, trash talking me, ETC. But now he came to my site, and i IP banned him after an argument, and him being his cocky self. I afk'd for like 20 minutes, and came back to a PM in my box, with one of my staff members that was on another site of his. He supposedly had a message he wanted her to give me, so she copied the chatbox they spoke in, and sent it to me in a PM on my site.

    Here is the talk:
    Spoiler:
    This conversation was taken from the chatbox on his site: http://soul-hazard.forumotion.com/forum

    My site is: http://untoldstories.forumotion.com/

    ______

    Now I'm not completely sure if anything can be done, but anything would help. I'm not afraid of him, but people like him just piss me off.

    The names he goes by are Roxas, Niirochi, and his Forumotion account name is Pendo. Some of you may know him.

    Protect from hacking:

    Change your e-mail and admin password to something super strong
    Example: 9CE13vjSIpXjWiUKDA3a1FRq3AbUyDJrMTdxLToeEOY6HYJmwvT2ci4vyFw9vdL

    And he'll never gonna go through that Wink
    And stay away from suspicious sites and links (To avoid cookie stealing)

    Nope sorry, but our staff are willing to help in case a hacking occurs, but you can use the tools to perform a back up for your forum in case a hacking occurs and you can restore lost data via the back up system which can be found on my signature.
