Well, how they do it I cant help you with.
but i DO know that it wasent YOUR site it self that got hacked, probably the whole server as they changed the index.php.
So in order to get it back on track, you have to upload all the index.php files from your backup.
There is a lot of them (about every dir have one) so youare probably best of with just replaceing all files with a backup, and i just hope you have one.-
The good news is that your DB are likly intact.
But it's not through SMF or TP tou have been hacked, that hack have been done through the host server of yours.
So i guess a talk with them about security is in place.

Man oh man... i'm glad i backup all my files yesterday and the database this morning...
But i did a lot of work today so that's all lost..

And your right about the host, i can't reach their site, so it's likely that they have been hacked..

Man i don't know even what to write here at this moment, really sad about this..  :(

Yes as G6 says it sounds like it was your host that was hacked, They even say that in the image they left "Hacked Host"

It really is a feeling of violation, not unlike the feeling of having your home broken into and your things stolen.

There are some real jerks out there who don't "play" by the same rules of common decency that the rest of us do. They are a very, very small minority, but unfortunately they let themselves be known way out of proportion.

It's likely going to take you a little while to get over this. The worst of it is that there's nothing you can do right now to fix it. You have to wait until your host gets back up before you can take any action.

I really feel for you.

This is exacly how i feel right now... These people have no common decency at all...
I HATE THEM! What are they thinking? It was just a normal forum with a lot of nice people that want to help eachother, just like this beautiful site.. But they don't care...

This is another example...

Sorry but my english is not so good at the moment, i come back when i calmed down a little, i'm going nuts in my mind..

I will contact my host tomorrow and i will be back how things are going.. Andi think it would take me a while to get over this like you said.. This is the second time i lost my forum, but another case..

Thank you for the words..


With regards,

Lucien

Oke this is what i did:

I emailed TinyPic.com about the picture hosted by the hacker and i asked them if they could remove it and maybe give me the ip adres of the uploader. Within 5 minutes the replied with the answer the removed the image and the gave me the ipadres..

The host is from the netherlands and within the district i live in..

Is this ip of any use for me or my hosting service?

I don't have enough technical expertise to be able to answer your question, Lucien. I wish I did. I'm sure someone who knows more will be around to answer better.

I'm glad you're taking action, though. It will help you to get through it.

It doesn't look to me as e personal attack against you. I  think this was something against the entire host.

To many people they get frustrated with the strategy some hosting companies use in order to make money.

To many hosting companies in the beginning they offer you a shared hosting solution with lots of bandwith and lots of space and after cople of months they shut you down with some ecxuse that your site is causing problems in order to sell you a VPS package and you pay more money ofcorse. This is just one reason with to many others that somone point their ability to hack.

So as I said this is nothing personal against you and most likely the IP that your host gave you is nothing more than a proxy IP. I believe that someone with the ability to hack the entire host at least will protect himself using some proxy's in order not to be detected.

I'm saying all this because your priority is to have your site back and ruining as it was before. I'm sure are nice people over your site and those people want your site back as you want. Chasing hackers and trying to find justice I'm not saying that is wrong but you have to know to let go sometimes. Is just going to waste your time and it will make you mad. I believe you don't want that.

All I'm saying is focus on the future and everything will be fine.

Take care OK  :up:

Yea its a headache with these hackers.

A lot of people bad mouth dreamhost sometimes for 'being down' but what they dont realize is that these idiot hackers are ALWAYS trying to hack dreamhost servers.

If you read the daily reports on DH you will see how one or another server gets attacked daily and they have to act in time to prevent this from being successful.

These malicious hackers should be killed and then shot into the sun!
