Well, we have told cater to upgrade from that Commodore 64...

What happen to all the data? Made SQL divide by zero?

I'm probably the most computer illiterate person on here but... Someone exploited something in the version of forum software that was being used to hijack everything and hold it ransom for a bit coin. Carter told them to go to hell and we started over from scratch.

The first ever post on MCB turned out to be a photo with a dead link... Nish deleted it... and here we are.

Mar you weren't supposed to tell everyone!

So much for it being our little secret.

So this could have been prevented by applying periodic security updates to the vBulletin service?

Again, I am the dumbest guy in the room. My understanding is that the answer to your question is No

[snoopay700]

I'm not complaining. It's no longer banned from my work for "guns"

Nope. Reality is a steady stream of cause and effect with only one possible outcome for any chain of events. Since it happened this way it was always going to happen this way and nothing could have been done to prevent it. QED

One side effect was the hackers threatened to unload all the email / passwords, and I guess they did since just after I got to a of security alerts

[Nish]

No passwords were stored. Thats why anyone that forgot theirs had to have a new temp one assigned to them instead of Carter just telling them what their password was.
