SMF 1.1.12

[iago]

Just updated SMF 1.1.11 to 1.1.12. Every time something like this comes out, I get a little edgy :)

Let me know if there are any problems.

I looked at SMF 2 again, but they still haven't released it. One of these days, though...

I tried reading it but I can't. I take it those blackhat idiots used an exploit in SMF?

[iago]

No, they don't say how they go in. Long story short, they pwn3d the crap out of 5 or so different sites, ransacked them, then posted about it online (including the sites' full databases). Not pretty. :)

From what I gleaned from that poorly written "press release" was that they went in through Wordpress, not SMF.  Did I miss something?

[iago]

It isn't so much a press release as a 'zine. And that group (and others) have done several others (the best known one being 'zf05.txt' - zero for 0wnage) where they compromise a bunch of well known security sites, rummage through all the files/passwords/etc, then delete everything and post the full log publicly.

How they got in doesn't really matters - the point is, when I read those it gets me worried and makes me want to update everything and hide under a rock.

iago's scared of elitist script kiddies? At least, that's what they make themselves sound like.

The people compromising high profile security sites aren't script kiddies -- these guys actually know what they're doing and how to cover their tracks.

And they know how to make these crazy ascii art things.  I love those  :D

The one with the sheep is hilarious. :)


So, there have been a ton of spambots since I updated the forum. I noticed the CAPTCHA got turned off, so I slowly ramped it up until they went away. Unfortunately, it's at the 'very high' level, which I can barely read myself. Ohwell :-/

You should set it to something unreadable, and we'll ban anyone who can register since they cheated.  Perfect plan!

Just updated to SMF 1.1.13. As usual, let me know if there are any issues.

Fuck that noise.

The coolest e-mail address of the 185 signed up? It's "isexymalebodybuilderposingsuitszme@jmilitaryfitnessquotesnfw.com" on the account Cloriarcics.
