A:M/C - Hacked Proboard Site

Forum URL: axclanforums.proboards12.com


Hello,

I already pm'd the admins to proboards, but i would like to post here to see if there is anyone that can help. (sry just learned they should only be PMd at their request) My proboard site was recently taken over by someone... calls it hacking... either way... is there a way to get it back from him and retrieve the posts that seem to be lost... here is the URL... you can see that it has been taken over by this guy. Thank you for any help that you can offer in getting this site back and up and running again.

If the email is still your email in the admin account, do a 'forgot password' once you receive the password, log in to the forum, and change it. I would also reccomend changing the email password.

If you cannot do that, you will need to wait for either Martyn Dale, or Craig Suffolk, as they are the only ones who can help you. You will need to have the original admin password you used to sign up to the forum with. Don't post it here, as they will reply and ask you to PM it to them with further instructions.

Also, please add "A:M/C" into the thread title, so they will know this is a thread only they can help in.

In the meantime, you may want to look at this for tips on how to prevent this from happening again:

Thank you,

I just tried the forgot password. It did not let me log in through my email. I had it go through the admin box and I assume its emailing the guy who took it....

I will be searching for the orginal pass... thank you!

All you can do at this point then is wait for an admin to see this thread and do something for you. They will need some information from you, but you guys can hash that out later. They work from the oldest post to the newest post, so unless none of them answer this, don't post on it again for 24 hours. If you do, you'll only bump it away from them seeing it and it will take longer for you to get help

I know they work backwards... but almost a month now??? Seems a bit long. I guess im in the back of the line again. Any other suggestions?

Thank you,
