I upgrade the MyBB to newest version, but no use.

But how to fix it?

Thanks a lot.
There was a thread not long ago about this exact one. I believe a member registers as str0ke or something, and manages to obtain Administration rights. What the exploiter has done is taken the board offline and placed a redirect URL within your "index.php" file and redirects the site to the address given.

If you are using MyBB 1.2, I believe there is a patch that was created after the first attempt. Head on over to the Downloads Section and see if the available patch is still there.
Thanks Ordellani
I fixed the problem just now.

First get back administratior rights (follows the post I mentioned), then login Admin CP,
Board Settings -- change - Board Online / Offline -- remove the script in "Board Closed Reason", and set "Board Closed" to No.
Then everything is OK now.
but there is still a problem

Admin account was removed, how can I get it back?

When was the last time you backed up your database?

Sad haven't backup the database.
can I modify the user table manually to add a "admin" account?
You should always backup your database, atleast once a week. That way, in the event of cases such as this, the problem can easily be resolved without the need to completely rewrite code, etc.
Hello,

Well non the less since you dont have a DB backup you still want to get you boards back. Here are a couple threads to help.

Both of these should help you restore your account the manual way.
If there was a code that makes backups automaticaly(set the time whatever you want it)
