I know what they can do in the acp because i have acp in 3 diffrent sites, and im not being nieve but tell me how many times do you actauly see someone hack a public foruM? If you compare that to how many times buisness and other important sites are hacked youll see its like one out of every 20 will actualy go after a forum.
There was no power surge lmao. There are already topics about this, Llamaman didn't pay for the site <_< .
I can give you one good example of when a hacker breached a public forum like this, the name of the forum is Invision Resource Center which happened late last year. The hacker used a vulnerability script to expose the administrators password thus giving the hacker the account. The entire forum was breached when the administrators account went down. I also own and operate a forum myself, so I to know exactly what can be done.
