Since v7n Forum is a large webmaster community, I decided to post this here.

Today, v7n forums were hacked by cyber criminals... Link : v7n Forums Hacked By The Punisher and EsFeHaNi

This happened like 5 minutes ago...

I visit v7n just about everyday - went there today and got a "hacked by" message.

That is really messed up. Why cant people leave sites alone?

Maybe they should learn better moderation techniques?

Every webserver is open to attack at one point or another.

And then there are the zero day exploits, where there is no fix.

Not necessarily.

And it is NOT the usually server that is vulnerable, but the applications installed on it!

"Zero day exploits" are always "fixable". A zero day exploit is one that has been there since the inception of the software, it simply has taken longer to discover the flaw or exploit it.

They might have been hacked from a IP assigned by GoDaddy (maybe an open proxy)

The whole network will be up in a few hours. Cricket did not even sleep last night at all and should be catching a few winks right now. Just sit tight folks and hang out at this forum.

The crew or person who did this has hacked a lot of other sites in the past. Everyone can take many measures to prevent there site or server from getting attacked but no site is 100% hacker proof. These folks seem to find loop holes. http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=...1e53e7eda1c5a6

I got bored this morning because i could not get on and did some reading. I am going to a festival to win my niece some stuffed animals and know i'll be on V7N all night long when it get's backup.

I just got home and the forum is up. A moderator can lock this thread.
