Have you re-uploaded your files (namely the index)? A lot of times, it's simply a matter of having your index file replaced with the hacker's 'scary' message.

Moved to Security and Legal.

 

Sorry to hear about this. Hope it's just an index file issue!

 

Sorry this has happened to you! If you have trouble fixing the damage, try doing a search for warezd or C0D3D + hacked, there are probably many other people cleaning up the same mess. Keep us posted on how it works out.

 

Its Totally Defaced!

 

I looked at the page source of your website and the index is completely replaced with the hacker's. Do you have a file backup?

 

You also might want to read the article Wayne posted to prevent this from happening.
I hope you have a file backup and if they droped your tables a database backups.

 

Yes, here is Wayne's article: Top 3 Reasons Forums get Hacked | AdminAddict

 

If you can't seem to fix your index page, it was probably inserted into your database.

my site was hacked twice and the second time i lost everything so i feel your pain. I hope you get everything sorted soon.

 

Sorry to hear about your website, Ak. Hopefully, this will be sorted out quickly.

 

Not at all, Wayne.

 

My guess is SQL injection. Was that a VB site? What version were you running?

 

I would like to know how the site was compromised.

 

Looks like your site is back to normal; did you figure out how the attack happened?

 

Yeah, I'm curious to know how this happened, AK.

 

its always best to upgrade to the latest vBulletin ASAP ...and also please don't use remember me option in firefox browser...there are several tools which can steal cookies from browser...
