Just went to aston themes (http://astonthemes.com/) and found their front page says large graphic "secure your #### or lose it" with the login usually seen when the site is shut down for maintenance.

Anyone know how to contact the admin there?

I know it wasn't the latest version because he has been mia for awhile. However I don't think it was to old of a version.

You could close your site with a message of "I am hacked, damn XOOPS!"
(don't know where to set? go to system preferences=>"Reason for turning off the site")

The last post on that page was to many users of Aston Themes NOT to remove his signature from the theme...

That post was written by someone else then Aston himself, my guess is that it has something to do with that.

I think they hope we will get scared so we don't use Aston themes anymore....

But if it is real...... pfoei? I'am watching my domains closely.

One of the XFCX Hacking crew is located in Denmark..

Greets,

BTW. What is wrong with the layout of the XOOPS forum? it is wider than the screen.

Re: Aston Themes Hacked ?

We have an increasing number of reports of XOOPS sites hacked, when they use a XOOPS version below 2.0.13 and some sorts of autologin.

The reason for this is that the hole we found in the XML-RPC interface allows for an SQL injection attack where one can find the hashed password for a known username in the database.
With this hash, it is possible to manufacture a cookie that resembles the autologin cookie and grants access as administrator (if the known user is administrator, naturally)

We meant it, when we said that everyone should upgrade to 2.0.13
"When you can flatten entire cities at a whim, a tendency towards quiet reflection and seeing-things-from-the-other-fellow's-point-of-view is seldom necessary."

That post was from either phppp or davidl2 so it has nothing to do with it.
