Just asking because I read others also experienced hacks and it seemed to come from among others Coppermine. You have the latest version of it?

Yes, I upgraded Coppermine about two weeks ago to the latest.  I got hacked again, 3rd time in 2 days.  My server error log as some errors about Coppermine.  I think I will delete my Coppermine directory just in case.

Somehow they also deleted all the php files in the root of the forum directory, all put their index.php file.

the 1.4.8 had some security holes that are fixed now, the latest version is now 1.4.9 and came out just a few days ago.

What is your site Maya and how did they hack it?

Sorry it took so long to get back and reply...my best friend ( of 20 years) just got married this weekend, and what can I say..

My site is just a pet project my husband and I have been working on..

took a break for a bit( kids and summer, etc  ), and are now in the process of 'overhauling' it with a new focus.... not big at all...

How did they hack it...I would like to know...The only thing I can think of, was like i said in a prior post, my chmod settings  were at 777 and might have allowed access, but have since been changed (obviously) , nor have there been any problems since....

Ah ok Maya, thanks for your reply, because of this 777 they could easily exchange your index file for theirs.
Success with overhauling your site
