Someone has got into my forums and is making himself admin and editing his posts etc. how do I stop this?
Delete all files except for config.php and reupload mybb. Make sure to keep any attachments, etc that you want.
Any chance you could check your access logs to see what pages the hacker is visiting? Also, run the File Verification Tool via the ACP to check for modified MyBB files.
He is making himself admin and adding posts to himself.

He probably has database access in that case. Change all passwords.
I Have Faced This Problem Before
What Plugins Are You Using ?
I'm using the original Mybb, he comes in makes his own account Admin, my account is still Admin but his is as well. He is adding stuff to the forums, he's removing posts etc. I took down Mybb and waiting to see if I can fix this. I IP address banned him but he came back
Hi,
If he keeps coming back after you have banned his IP, coule be a proxy/vpn etc.
Are you only using MyBB or do you have more PHP pages/scripts?
What plugins are you using? (Addons to MyBB).
