I don't really know if it was a hacker but I was able to navigate to all of the forum web pages in a somewhat stripped down archived read-only text format. It might have been this site's archived files -- if so, it looks things are just hanging there out in the open for anybody to monkey with.
I didn't see that Bill.
It appears someone got in and edited a template that redirected everything.
I was able to find a piece of software to fix it and, viola!
It actually doesn't appear to be something in the vBulletin software that let them in. The root cause (linux humor) will take some time to find out the issue.
I saw the same thing. When visiting urls of previously viewed pages, all the data was present... the CSS looked like it was missing You could navigate through the forums as long as you avoided the forum home page.
.. that you guys seem to actually understand how these boxes work! I come from the old school of electronics were we troubleshoot by tearing into circuit boards and switching wire leads!! Ya' done good!!
It did not occur to me to save any links until I wound up at the following directory tree which looks like it might be on the AAW site or maybe somebody added something or is spoofing it.
The way that I got in was when the link on the home page redirected, I just went to another page and eventually navigated to the directory tree in the link. Very interesting.
The IP address of the link is: 208.68.139.89 which seems legitimate since it is the same as what I get when pinging the real forum address (unless, of course, this is not really the real forum site and all you guys actually are just a gang of hackers).
The IP of the AAW main site is: 66.179.10.109 just so folks know that the two sites are different.
