I'm pretty sure a message board that I'm an administrator at, pulsemusic.proboards.com, was hacked within the last hour or two. None of the staff members have any powers right now, and one of the staff member accounts was even deleted. Unfortunately the head admin has gone to sleep, but I was wondering if there was anything you could do in the meantime? My login name there is "EHL". |

I used to be, but whoever hacked the board removed staff powers from every account except for the "admin" one.
Also, two of the people who were staff members ("themaxonline" and "19forever") have had their names deleted. Could you check the IP log?

Ok. Let's not claim the forum has been hacked [admin account compromised through someone knowing the admin password], as there is no evidence of that.
You do know it's April 1st, don't you?
I did notice some images had been changed to a little unsavoury ones, and so have changed the admin account as a precaution. But i fully expect this is just an april fools joke.

Of course I know it's April 1st. Could you please tell me what IP has deleted "themaxonline" and "19forever" then, as well as who put up that banner that is only there to make fun of a member of the board (it's a photo he posted awhile back)? Because I know the admin of the board would NEVER do that.

Can you please give me my administrative powers back then so I can try and un-do the damage that has been done? I can even confirm my identity through email if you need me to.

You can claim you may know they would never do that, but you can't be definite that they wouldn't. As i said, i have changed the login details of the admin account as a precaution, as the IP isn't the same as previous IPs, but that doesn't mean that it's not the regular admin. |

Your help is appreciated.
Any chance you could do a member search and see if the IP matches that of anyone who posts at the board?

I also see that whoever is behind this logged into the email registered to the administrative account and changed that password too. So how can the head admin get access to his account now?
(that email was a joint one used by all the staff members to send ban notifications to members, which is why I had the password to it)

They will have to contact their email provider in regards to their email account.

I'm not sure that's even an option because it looks like the hacker flat-out deleted the email account. When I tried the "recover password" feature, it told me the account no longer exists.

If so, could you set that into your profile on here. Craig If you're referring to the address of record for my "admin" profile on pulse, that's pulseadmin@gmail.com - the shared address used by our staff to send notifications. However, that address has been deleted by the hacker. If you're referring to the email I address I used whenever I created the board - that's a different email. It was 6 1/2 years ago, so I'm not really sure. Gmail didn't even exist back then. Should I give you whatever addresses I *could* have been using back in 2003, and then let you check all of them? |

Would you have access to them? You would need to have access to them. Have you yet to contact google to get access to your email address back?
