So the forum killed itself - ViPER1313 - 11-07-2016
I don't know why... lots of files missing and/or changed on the app server at 2:15 today. Restoring now with a recent backup. DB seems fine.

Thanks Adam, I was out til late and couldn't get to it so very much appreciated!
Do you have a more recent backup or should we take one, of both the DB and the site files?
Re: So the forum killed itself - ViPER1313 - 11-08-2016
I have recent backups. You should change the database password and capture any Admin logs on the app server itself.
Due to the nature of the failure/breach (I don't know which) the files containing the php DB username / password were exposed.
Everyone with an account here should assume the entire database may have been compromised. Any sensitive data sent via PM may have been exposed. Password data may be compromised as well - so if you share your username and password with other sites, change those other sites passwords.

Must have been the Russians after our precious Election thread.

Good thing I have a genera password for forum sites and other sites that aren't important. They can go ahead and log into those and do nothing :thumbup:
I figured it was a breach. Old WP and PHP is not the safest tech in the world lol.
Re: So the forum killed itself - PDenbigh - 11-08-2016
Well done, thank you!
Re: So the forum killed itself - Jake - 11-08-2016
I'll get the database password changed today and take a look at the logs. Thanks Adam!
