DAC is back. Again.

[ Community -> Update ]

Awesome. For those of you who missed it, DAC was hacked on the 19th of April via a known vulnerability in the Coppermine Gallery which we used.
The update to fix the vulnerability was released on the 12th of April with a further update on the 16th. Given there's no way in hell I'll ever be able to update the gallery that fast, I've taken it offline until I find an alternative.You might also note a bunch of missing stuff as well. For starters, that "level" forum crap is gone and it won't be coming back. Also gone is Teatime's website... Which I'll have to fix. I'm not sure what else is missing but if it's not there and it's meant to be, let me know and I'll dig it out of the compromised backup, check that it's okay and upload it again.
 I also recommend that if you're security conscious, you change your password. There is the possibility that hackers gained access to the database which contains all your encrypted passwords. If they decrypt them (which is difficult but not impossible), they'd like, be able to log in as you and post stuff. It's more of an issue if you use that password somewhere else though, like your gmail account or something or if you're an administrator.

Coppermine Gallery? Is that the community image thing that no one uses? I would like to see the face of teatime when he hears his website is gone.

WHO would want to hack dack? Cross reference all level 5 enemies with the recent hack data.

Yeah, hacking DAC is kind of like... well... stealing a retarded kid's lunch-box. You can do it, sure, but what's the damn point?

Oh well, glad you got it all squared DU.

I blame all future shitty news posts on my account being taken control of by the dirty hackers.

Nice work

Also gone is Teatime's website... Which I'll have to fix.

Would be appreciated. Though I should look into having a separate host anyway.

oh NOES!

They haxed uses!

ffs, who the hell would hack this place, a better analogy than the retarded kid one is:

Haxing DAC is like breaking in to a manure silo.

Maybe it was

dun dun dun

Post by **DarkUnderlord** » Tue Apr 22, 2008 1:00 pm

Actually I'm fairly certain it was an automated attack. IE: Google all the sites running Coppermine, attempt to hack them.

That'd make for a nice change.

rabidpeanut · Post by **rabidpeanut** » Tue Apr 22, 2008 8:11 pm

NMA versus DAC = compost heap versus manure silo.

So yes, they are a better place to hack.

I vote we redirect all foreign looking traffic their way.
