As you might have noticed, the website was hacked by the user "TeamAnimus".

I have now fully restored the website. A lot of work....sigh...

Hi Lurkin,

Good job to restore the forum. I am wondering how it happened. Was it a security hole on vBulletin system or the SQL injection attack or sometihng? No offence, I just want to prevent this issue again.

Hello Ryo,

One of the installed add-ons had a vulnerability which was used by the hacker.
Hope this does not happen again, but we never know, do we?

Thanks
