    Damn, talk about bad security. Good thing I stopped using vBulletin and switched to Xenforo.

    To be honest, I kind of expected something like this to happen at one point. vBulletin 5 bad coding + the amount of people who dislike Internet Brands = a disaster just waiting to happen.

    If they stuck true to form they would just blame their customers for being stupid and buying VB. Without spending thousands of dollars and loads of time to make sure that VB could not be affected. Well this is what they did with VB5.

    Any idea what the specifics are for "we are being PROACTIVE and changing our method of storing/checking member passwords" ?

    Posted in public on VB.org:

    I read earlier that there had been over 35,000 hacks on vb sites. I do not understand all the techy stuff but it seems that VB has some serious security problems.
    But then what should we expect from a site that protects unethical staff members who support known and self confessed hackers.

    BirdOPrey5 once said I did not understand the word IRONY! Perhaps I understand it better now.

    I said it on another forum, I am worried it could be all the customers info.

    What hasn't been bad news for IB recently?

    vBulletin 4, vBulletin 5, XenForo lawsuit, AudiWorld, WikiTravel, fake reviews... all they need is someone to get arrested on fraud charges and they've had the lot...
