Rsbandb security for members?

czskrazzi · **Posted:** April 22nd, 2005, 8:17 pm

OK, i read the post that rsbandb had been hacked. But my question is, lets say all rsbandb members change both their pass for rs and rsbandb, is our security still safe?. Basically, what has or is being done to prevent future incidents of this nature.

For now, keeping your password safe is the way. And we don't know if the hacker is still going to hijack us again, so well, your account for RS is pretty much safe but I don't think your forum account is good.

Well. Mike thinks he has a fake IP so blocking IP doesn't help in that case.
And he is getting in through a hacking program. :roll:

. Mike will explain better if you ask him.

ah ok.. i know what ya mean.. just needed to know how he was getting in, he may be using a fake ip. but his server shouldnt change with his isp. unless he is doing thru a remote location and hacking into a network or stealing internet to do it. but i dont see why go through so much trouble.

Hackers will do anything to hack ...
There are high chances that he will do again ..
Cause the circle is like this: If he fails, he'll try again, if he suceed, he'll get hyper and do it again.

It's a cracker, not a hacker, hackers dont destroy stuff, crackers do.
crackers dont have a life.

Yeah, this cracker is a no lifer. Probably just using a proxie and making himself look hard, whenever he cracks a site he probably gets turned on.

Meh, he didn't destroy anything. Just took the backup file of the forums and the passwords..

It's a bug in the phpBB software. It should be fixed soon.

I just never use my rs pass on any forums or even msn. there is no way people can get or guess my password

Huitzi · **Posted:** April 23rd, 2005, 10:42 am

Are you sure???

Ya, mine is hard to guess too, unless you know me, but even then it's impossible to guess.
Can this hacker actually get punished by the law for doing this? I guess not.
