Still here boss. I hate it when people do stuff like hacking. Same thing as breaking and entering your home. Can you shoot em if you find em, like in your home???
 
I don't think there's a bullet made that'd reach to where the hack came from. At least not from the server housing the forum.

gah.

This time it was from a Islamic state (and yes I have reported it).

As far as I can tell, this only affected Britishcarforum. They got in through an insecure php script on this site. I am going to inquire with the forum software maker if the forum should run ok with phpsuexec installed so I can track where such exploits are coming from. In this case, I only know it came from an Islamic state because of the message they left (which I won't repeat here).

Oh, and I think I caught them in the act. They appear to have been in the process of changing my index file with their own index file which contained a "message" that all could have seen when accessing this site. But because their hack attempt crashed the database when I happened to be online, I was able to investigate and saw what was going on and stopped them in their tracks.
 
Send in the dogs!
