I get this message when opening BB:

Yes it was Bob.

The hackers were using the chatroom software to expolit a security loophole and execute a shell script, which overwrote some files. Fortunately, I was online when the hack started and was able to nip it in the bud before they did any real damage. It didnt take long to figure out what was going on. I deleted the chatroom script to block their access and re-uploaded the files they had destroyed. It's back to normal now and the exploit has been removed, though we are minus one chatroom, at least for now.

Just an update, BB is offline while the host goes through and checks everything.

 

[Martyn]

BB is back online, still some things to sort out, please use the following link...

Martyn, I posted this in BB...and it repeats here, obviously...

Warning: Unknown(./chat/inc/config.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /index.php(66) : eval()'d code on line 4

Fatal error: (null)(): Failed opening required './chat/inc/config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/synobyte/public_html/forums/index.php(66) : eval()'d code on line 4

sorted Zack, it was part of my thoroughly removing the chatroom script. Once it was gone, other bits of the forum were looking for it and upset to see it was not there.

 

[Tony]

Glad to see that it's all sorted mate, that was quick :You_Rock_

 

[Lurch]

Grrr.
What is it with some people that they get their jollies from destruction?
Glad to hear you got things sorted.

 

[Martyn]

It was lucky I was online when it happened and off work today. Pretty much every page on the site was affected, the website, the forums, the gallery etc. It took about 4 hours to sort.

There were several sites hit just from the host I use, all with the same message "by Thehacker own3d **** israel n0 war" ...all the sites that were hit were either US or British.

Just to let you know that BB has had another attck tonight. If you get interrupted service, or strange jihad type messages, that will be the reason. We are working on it.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Just bombed out on me

 

[Tony]

It's going fine now, I think there's just a bit of tidy upto do

 

[drstrange]

Spot the pun: "has Britishblades been hacked"

 

[Martyn]

Just bombed out on me

It isnt bombing out, the server is being tweaked to clean out the compromised files and jack up the security.

As I said 2 posts up, there will likely be intermittent service loss during this.
