Tom Eagles 0 Posted August 4, 2006 Author Share Posted August 4, 2006 AS OF THIS MOMENT THE FOLLOWING SECURITY MEASURES HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED TO CLOSE A SERIOUS HOLE IN THE BOARDSWHICH WILL ALOW FURTHER ATTACKS UNTILL AN UPGRADE CAN BE DONE.1. THE PM SYSTEM IS NOW OFFLINE AND CANNOT BE USED BY ANYONE INCLUDING US STAFF )2. NO ONE CAN EMAIL FROM THE BOARDS NOW3. ALL NEW MEMBERS MUST BE VALIDATED BY A BOARD ADMINISTRATOR MEMBERSHIP TO THE BOARD IS NOW NOT AUTOMATIC.4. GUESTS AND NON VALIDATED MEMBERS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REPLY TO A THREAD.I am sorry for any inconvenience but as last night proved someone could exploit this hole and literally make themselves an administrator and delete all admins and change password access personal information etc and even turn the boards off.Untill i can get hold of chris gordon i have taken these steps to protect our forums and all the valuable information that is here.Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
