Man, what a pain in the tuckus that people have the time to do stuff like this. One thing I wonder, if they have the ability to hack into the site in this manner, why is the English so poor?
It bothers me that with a site like this, that you have to contend with idiots like that.

ken

I recieved it too. I wonder what the point is. These people have way too much time on their hands. Imagine what they could do if they put this much effort into something useful!!!!

Rep Power: 57  | Fellows,
Everyone on this board received that email since the hacker used the "Email All Members" button from the Admin Control Panel to send it. So, once he was in it didn't take anything at all to send the message, and due to the damn holes in the install script, it didn't take much to get in!
Hopefuly, we're secure now but we'll see.
Best,
Ron | |

Ron, I only mention this in case it has some significance to the problem. I didn't receive the email.
