Hey KHV are you done being broken yet?

Also does anyone know what actually happened.

 

The sire got hacked by someone/ something.

 

Claw figured out how to hack websites.

 

It was caused by malware, actually. We should be okay now. Should.

 

I knew KHV was being a little slow lately.

Yay.

 

Someone pulled a Xaldin.

 

HA! I see what you did there!

 

Don't you mean Luxord?

 

No, a Xaldin.

 

...

 

Nothing was hacked. Long story short, Misty clicked something she wasn't supposed to and gave her a pretty stubborn virus that uses login data and saved passwords to spread malicious links around. She's lucky it didn't touch more important logins like her online banking and PayPal accounts.

If you clicked any of the links that were originally posted when the site went down or received suspicious links from Misty via Skype/MSN etc, please run an antivirus scan on your system. Friendly reminder not to click links that you aren't expecting.

I've brought the site back up after running a few scans and recovering some lost files. Sorry for any inconvenience.

 

Didn't we move to XenoForo in an attempt to stop this sort of thing?
It's kind of hilarious, actually.[DOUBLEPOST=1356047871][/DOUBLEPOST]

Well alright then. Is Misty/Misty's computer gonna be okay?

 

Hooray Staff !!

That was a scary .

 

Wasn't the site that was hacked, though, so regardless of XenoForo's security it was going to happen because it had Misty's details.

Edit: Double post as I replied. xD

 

It has nothing to do with Xenforo or the forum software in general. The virus she had used her login info that was stored on her computer to create a index with the malicious links for khv, while deleting a few other files off the root (luckily nothing major).

And she's working on cleaning her PC as I type this.

 

Misty made a derp? I hope her computer and info are ok :<

 

I got an IM from her this morning at 7:45 AM, but I didn't click it because I found it suspicious instantly. Is what happened today the same thing that happened back in April 2007 when Sara was on the staff team?

Also, was the downtime the result of the malware or you guys disabling the forum in order to remove the malware? Did she click the link by accident?

 

That must be a pretty complex virus.
How did it even know stuff about KHV? Like Misty's name.
Seems pretty suspicious.
What link did Misty click?

 

Er... I hardly remember either of those lol.

The downtime (after it happened) was because I was making sure nothing malicious was uploaded on the server and had to reupload a couple files that were deleted/modified by the virus.

It's a pretty well-written virus indeed. I'm guessing it just fetched the username info from the account it was on.

And I don't know the exact link... and I doubt she plans on sharing it. The ones she was sending around were shortened urls to an executable file.

 

So when I got that IM on Skype from her, that's when she clicked the link or does it take a while for the virus to kick in?
