Im getting blank screen with "MnSiNy HaCkEr ~~~ Saudi_Arabia‏" message when going to aofroobs.
Any change that our passwords there got compromised?

Yes. Very much so

The home page has been hacked again but the forum looks fine. http://www.aofroobs.com/forum/

**Ekarona** · Nov 4th, 2011, 17:56:52

Could there be a forum system in which passwords wouldn't get compromised?

Again... huh. I mean... what?

Not that hard to design your webpage a bit more secure.

Your welcome.

This ranks high among the most useless advice given on a forum so far.

A hundred times this. Just plug the security holes with some of those.

Amateurs.

I'm wondering where this deface came from, apache issue that wasn't patched ? Bad check in avatar uploads ?

In a few cases, defacing doesn't touch the database (the passwords) but that's up to the admins to check it out.

And never use the same password for a forum and your email.

Good advice. I would go a few steps further and say you should have unique passwords for all your important stuff (that being various e-mail accounts, net bank, etc).

I hope the people who run aofroobs find out how this was possible, and is able to plug the hole and hopefully prevent this from happening again.

So, writing the webpage has nothing to do with it's security whatsoever?

Enlighten me then.

The HTML/Frontend code has nothing to do with server-side security.

Hannavald's post sums it up perfectly.

I just use easy junk password for forums, I mean what is the worst thing, they can spam and get me banned? Get my email?

How dare you imply i made a constructive post.

To purify myself of sin, I am now forced to meditate in the mountains for a month while eating only ketchup.

Steamforums got hacked today too.
It advertised a cheating site, that's why they are down since several hours.
