i thought thats what he meant too herko..
but reading it again and reading the other thread with the list of sites.. i think english is a 2nd language, so came across wrong..
i think he means some of the sites may not have been hacked via XOOPS but rather the server or host server whichever was hacked..
cud be via ftp or telnet or whatever method they used..
out of curiosity how many of these site admins (if any) have actually contacted the hackers in a polite manner?
i mean the message displayed on the hacked sites seems quite distinguished from more malicious attackers..
it maybe worth the try to actually email the admin of the hacker group that hacked them (in this case i think it's a guy called neil from the uk..
ask him politely, ie.. "ok it's a fair cop, u hacked my site
http://www.mydomain.com" and i thank u for not destroying it, but would you be willing to actually discuss how you did this and possibly give me some information as to being able to prevent the same method being used again"
not all hackers are bad people and some will help if u ask them nicely and don't go swearing and cussing at them..
it's worth a try and what have u got to lose by asking? the damage was done and cud be done again if u don't know how they did it..
