Has This Forum Ever Been Hacked?

[CapitalG]

I'm just curious. I'm not a hacker or anything. I haven't been involved in the Zelda Community for a while but some of the sites I used to frequent have been hacked.

That’s what a hacker would say...

 

[Rubik]

Everyone on this forum is a hack. So in a sense, yes.

 

[Fraxinus]

if someone logging into a staff members account because they had a stupid password and deleting half the forum while logged in said staff members account counts as hacking, then yes this forum was hacked in 2009 once. one of our historical forum wipes

Again, not really hacking but Kitsu managed to **** with the page styles due to a flaw in the name colour add-on we had on the old Zelda Dungeon a while back. He gave himself the admin tag and told JJ he was banned, classic. Mases saw this and actually made him admin because of it, because... I don't know Mases is a bit of a weirdo.

Dang that's crazy. What was the thread? Was that the only time?

 

[Turo602]

It won't be the last time. There will come a day again when the forum gets hacked. You'll see. You'll all see.

There's been a handful of abused exploits and we were DDoS'd at least once.

Say, what is ZD's backup strategy? What's the worst that could happen if another attack happens?

But seriously, there are years worth of Zelda fandom history here and I hate wipes.

I think there are usually backups of the forum that go back to a certain date. So if an update goes wrong or anything it can be rolled back.

Maybe the real backup was the friends we made along the way.
