Funny how after I posted this I had a bunch of spammers try to register... Hmmmmmm

Most likely, you didn't notice that you had spammers registering until this mod brought it to your attention. That's the way it was for me.

No I have had it installed for a month now and I found these recent visitors via geoip...

In any case, this mod is 100% percent safe, or I wouldn't have recommended it. Also, if it weren't safe, it wouldn't be on the mod site.

Misunderstanding. The mods are great! I was wondering why I had a sudden surge after posting that I had those mods installed... That was all. No one actually made it through to get my disapproval so all's well!  :P

Guys,

My forum has been one of many hacked. Is there away to repair the damaged avatars/attachments?

I have no experience in coding etc.

Cheers

The easiest way would be to revert to a clean backup, and temporarily disable all uploads until a patch is released.

This is where I have been bad and haven't been doing regular back ups. I guess I learn the hard way...

Then you pretty much should delete everything except your attachements, and settings.php and upload fresh files from an upgrade package to replace the infected files - and then manually check the settings.php and your latest avatars and attachments that they are ok...

It's a coincidence.
My site is relatively unknown and not really public, yet we've gotten 20 auto-banned applications today alone. There is always a spike in registration or drive by attempts whenever a new exploit shows up in SMF or PHPbb.

When is your most recent db backup from before the hack?

well Ziggy, I have no idea what that means

Too much security maybe? LOL


right now I am really confused as to what to do next. That hacker has codes all over other parts of my site besides the forum. It will take me a week to figure all this out

thanks for letting me know though

Looks like the recaptcha thing messed up

I uninstalled that recaptcha  thing and tried to register using another name using my business email address and now it's telling me I am spam and to report myself to myself

this is insane!

well it wasn't the recaptcha or stop spam thing. It was another mod I had installed called Stop Forum Spam

I have reinstalled the other two and can register now without it messing up. I have to approve all registrations though....so go ahead and try again Ziggy
