Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Yes, there is a problem, Mgt are aware. Don't follow the links.
Seems to be affecting the words 'I', 'More' and 'The'

On my laptop the links are back to snowHeads (snowheads.com) so is this a pre-emptive method of preventing more harmful links appearing? Puzzled Yesterday the links were to porn sites I presume (from the name in the URL), but as I did not click on any I have no idea!

Looks like NBT is working on the issue. The repeated attach suggest SQL inject or similar...

Good question, DB.

I see this is the month for "Hot Oktoberfest Lederhosen Babes". Obviously I'm not going to link to that site.

hmmm.... back and similar but not the same...
the link off of the word 'My' has been fluffed - when the links came back at around 11am, one had been miscoded and had a syntax error causing the link to display as text. Could imply a live attack rather than a cron'd reapplication...

I said on another thread relating to this that I expected site to be taken offline, I still think it needs taking down otherwise it's really difficult to resolve.

Stop site
Identify and fix vulnerability (again I expect it to be a mod_rewrite sql injection
Clean up back end data.
Bring site back online

ansta1, not sure it fits the format of a mod_rewrite per se; That'd typically make a play for the page redirection (although the full page redirect A.M.B, Sarah and myself got might, though I reckon that 'they' fluffed the code again and managed to just force the link, rather than hiding it in the text).

This seems to be going after the content of the table that holds the autolink records.

...Looks like we've just had a restart of the site too...

Richard_Sideways, but isn't the mod_rewrite hole allowing the sql injection to occur who's either compromising. The phpmyadmin side and therefore allowing more detailed hacking?

I am guessing there is a lookup table for word replacements and they are inserting records into that table.

I am sure I have a load of php fixes that I had to apply a while back that shuts the door on almost all sql injection type attacks via php.

hmmm had an auto redirect just now too. corporate firewall caught it and flashed up the access denied page.

place won't be the same if there's a total update of phpbb underpinnings, and the e-commerce bits fudged in by whatever means.

Problem could be much more complex - I've had nigh on twenty sites hacked since August.

Along with many others who have the same problem(s) http://forums.modx.com/thread/?thread=91891&page=

All were running older versions of MODx.

The hackers had identified a way to breach the security and once in they were able to place a series of php files hidden in a raft of directories, very very difficult to find.

Only way was to re install latest versions of software etc and go through other dirs with a fine tooth comb.

Not too sure what this site is running, but the forum software is similar to other sites, and probably now is quite "old", and would imagine the hackers know what to do etc etc to get in.

All seems quiet today. Another forum I'm on was taken down for about 2 weeks by a hack which completely trashed it, so SH might have got off lightly if Admin and the team have brought it under control.

Richard_Sideways, no I had a redirect to a dodgy sex cam site this morning. Can't think it was on the instruction in La Tania thread.

Hmm. risked coming on here this morning. haven't seen any redirects myself, but if they have happened, I think i'll avoid till I get home. don't want too many black marks recorded on the corporate firewall blocker.

Might be time to think about moving the bash custom stuff somewhere separate, and move forum to stock latest forum code?
