Topic: My Forum was hacked

Hi all,

First, sory because my English so badly.

This is my forum: http://nhanweb.com . I used PunBB version 1.3 and update every hotfixs .

2 hour ago, some people call to me and told me that forum was hacked by someone. I checked and Administrator's username and password were changed but nothing uploaded. my FTP account is good. I have view log file but nothing logged. Here is some picture hacker changed in my forum.

Hacker said that PunBB's very easy to hack.

Please check PunBB source.

If you want my log file, please contact me Yahoo! Messenger: l_lion.heart_l@yahoo.com or email webmaster@n2dgroup.com .

Thank for your reading

Re: My Forum was hacked

The only way this would have been possible is if the admin account has a easy password. There are no known exploits in PunBB. However we will keep looking to see if their is an exploit of this type.

Sorry. Unactive due to personal life.

Re: My Forum was hacked

I forum was hacked again after I changed my assword to new. I used my laptop to access to my administrator area, no keylog install because I reinstall my laptop before I change my username and password. In log file I found hacker IP: 123.17.183.199.

Some action hacker did in my log file:

Are you sure that it's not your own IP?
www.ip2location.com shows that to be from Vietnam which I understand that it is where you come from.

Re: My Forum was hacked

Hi guy,
Not my own IP, I come from Viet Nam and hacker too. When I know forum was hacked again, I didn't access to admin CP and go to Hosting Control Panel and view log first.

Re: My Forum was hacked

Are you sure that your e-mail, which you use on the forum, has not been hacked?

Re: My Forum was hacked

If someone has an access to the cookie information (maybe there is an unknown XSS in PunBB?), he can get admin session, then change the e-mail to his own and finally run the password reset procedure.

Do you know if your profile contained a hacker's e-mail?

Re: My Forum was hacked

   i hope you will find a solution!
