mizar5 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 this is my first post and this site has been and is very useful to people who just love to grok just like me. it is just unfortunate that we have to bear the inconvenience wrought by some selfish people who just hate to see other people learn and gain something through the forums. thanks to all of you guys here at insanelymac for everything i have learned, you know who you guys are..BEERS!

frizbot Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 The site was brought up quickly, and improved: I'm happy with that. When buying equipment or a site from someone, it's smart to do a security audit in case the previous admin left it in a bad state. Hindsight, 20/20, etc. I'm not worried about my email address being known, though I've changed the one I registered, along with my easily-guessed password (this account was hastily set up). Thank you for the notification of the security breach. I made a post that took about 5min of experimentation to get benchmark scores on, so that's all I've lost.

jpsolares Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I learned the hard way that you can't just sit back to collect revenue from ad money, but you also need to actively update the forum's system to avoid exploits before they happen. I'm just glad I used a temporary e-mail account to sign up for these forums. I suggest everybody should do the same. As long as you check your control panel for messages, there's no need to actually have anything forwarded to your real e-mail address. But u can pay to a good programer or run a program to see some exploids, or open ports, stuff like that. Well im far far far far far far away from UK, but i think is faster, with two server more secure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roxen Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 http://forum.osx86project.org/ still gives the 'Hello Imac visitors' page. So the links to that forum don't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ramm Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 There was some supposed contact with the guy who hacked it on IRC. I don't believe it though, considering the guy appeared to be russian (from what I heard, I wasn't there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frizbot Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I used a temporary address too. You don't get SPAM, but the person who has the database can now reset your password. It's why I changed the email address and password. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
