Best upgrade path after hack - jtapp - 2018-07-24
My site has been compromised - anywhere I clock on the main page takes me to a Malware site. The links start like this
http://www.hibids10.com/sound?cver=1&refer=http
Can someone tell me what is the easiest way to upgrade?
Can I install the new version of myBB into another folder, make a copy of the current database, run update scripts and point the new version to this updated database?
