Not really a hack - more of a crack...
Affect the entire site or just one section?
I missed out on all the intrigue... |

Mostly RF section, bits overlapped to other areas of the site.
Colt - there is protection but this wasn't a brute force so didn't trigger it. |

so the password was guessed? 
He had to of known the 1st password at least 
i can't imagine anyone getting that lucky
When is the last time we have heard of NCF anyways? ... maybe hes been hacking at this for a few days and just kept getting locked out?
Oh ... you may want to check that he hasn't messed with NCFs settings and changed the email etc. so he can reset the password
Edit: Nevermind ... forgot you need your old password to edit the new one 
Also ... why did he specifically target the RF section  |

The hoser can't get into his account. LOL
When he clicks the "forgot password" it says that there is no member with that name but it does acknowledges that he is a staff members.
I guess HE IS GONE FOREVER ... 
Can I be staff, I heard there was going to be a departure at the end of the month?
Goes and changes password to something "stronger". 
Password changed to numbers and letters |

Not really, the hacker was stopped in his tracks (thanks to garner) ... and it seems that none of the site functions were compromised so there really is no security threat to deal with other than stronger passwords ...
And the backup was up quick enough ...
Let's face it ... this person wasn't a master hacker ... just lucky at guessing passwords ...
but whats REALLY suspicious that he only attacked the RF section ... why not change all of the sections and the main page?
TBH i doub't the Metlak (The one from Turkey) did this ... most likely it was just some guy that fit the profile to frame
I think it might be pretty interesting if garner took the IP of the hacker and cross-referenced with the IPs from the users of this site to find the match/closest matches ... 
but, i guess if he/she wasn't a complete moron ... this wouldn't do any good ... |

i dunno ... im just saying it's more likely that its some guy pretending to be a turkish hacker rather than actually being a turkish hacker ...
I just find it odd that they would
but i gotta admit it was amusing to see things go to hell for a bit ... everyone in Xfire was worked up alot and were chatting a group ... and i added a bit of fuel to the fire just for the fun of it ...
I suggested that it must be this guy after doing a quick google search ... LOL |

As far as hacking goes, I personally think this was not the case , BUT Colt Walker uses Myth mod , look closely at his screen shot , another RF cheater ? 
P.S to Admin and staff , only post this If you think its appropriate ! |
Wow, I missed out on all of this. Happend to me years ago when I was running a PHP nuke site. Some turkish people "hacked" the site. First time its happened though as far as i know.... not a bad record really - we dont even get bot accounts here |

If the files had been removed the only difference would be that restoring the backup would take longer. I'm sure the files are backed up at least bi-monthly.
Edit: by posting screenshots and continuing to rant, you're doing exactly what this guy wants, giving him attention. |

Everything is backed up daily. Only difference is I'd have to wait longer for the server to move stuff from the backups |
