Recently a few threads were started about some of my websites that were defaced. I'm posting here because I feel this is a community issue since many of my sites such as MyBB Central and SupportForums.net are well known and frequently visited. Plus I want to squelch rumors.
These sites are run on shared hosting environments. They were exploited by very old and unpatched MyBB sites I ran on the host. As far as I know there is no 0-day MyBB exploit. Otherwise HF would be down. It's certainly the bigger target.
So I'm just posting this so people are not alarmed that a few of my sites are down and defaced. All is well. I have backups and already SF is back online. I'll have MyBB Central back up soon enough too.
Thanks everyone for your concern.
