Oke so we all know we had to upgrade a few days ago... now why did we lose the database again? i'll tell you.
On the old forum, some script kiddie used an old exploit to get the passwords of certain people. One of those was an admin here who did not change his password
Now the same person used this to enter the admin area, make a backup of the database structure (not the data itself) and restored it. This makes the database trash all tables and remake them, but WITHOUT data.
So we lost the data, thankfully it wasn't much and in the meantime i have recovered the old database and set it up again. We will open it for the public soon.
Now about this script kiddie, we have sent an official complaint to his/her ISP about this incident as they were not smart enough to know we have HTTP logs and im not stupid. so i can filter their IP from this.
We may or may not issue a formal complaint with the FBI (or other police organisations that oversee this kind of crimes) since this incident made us and the community lose a great deal of data and time. Not to mention our computer privacy was breached. Also the motives of this script kiddie are unknown as of now, but we suspect he doesn't agree with freedom of speech/expression and hence tried to "silence" us.
Tough luck, this incident only made us more resilient against any future attacks and we have prepared adequate.
And again, anyone that had access to a special group if you want you permissions back. Please come to #openkore on irc.openkore.com and contact us. We need to make sure we're talking to the right person

Re: What happened you ask?
it's a US based ip so i think it will be handled by FBIs related agencies :/
well if you are the one who did this, good luck =P. From what i heard they even have a way to point out ip address masked by TOR ~__~ but... since you are not even using a proxy, kababoom! instant death XD (Goshuuso-sama~)

I take it that it would be a good idea to register with a new login and password.

Only a handfull of passwords were comprimised, but yes... it would be advisableaznbob00 wrote:I take it that it would be a good idea to register with a new login and password.

For now use the wiki, it has some of the manual stuff.
or you could just enter irc and type !config <config.txt parameter> and it will redirect you to the correct page =P
