Keyword(s) being 20 seconds. =P Invisionfree is very, very secure. Which turns off most of the script-kiddie hackers you see today. And the few that really can hack..well, I doubt they'd do it-it'd be a waste of time, and I can almost bet Duffman has everything [to a certain date] backed up somewhere. While everything on the internet IS hackable, that doesn't mean it can be hacked. I COULD blow up a army base-does that mean I'll be able to or want to? Nope. =P |

Great, now they'll be running over to secure IF. Just what we've always wanted. ![]() 9,000 boards?! That's crazy. How can 9,000 boards be affected by one attack? Crazy. Well, it teaches ezBoard to get security. You know the Internet can be a VERY dangerous place to be if you're not careful. |

Not even iF is indestructible, so we better watch out. |

OMFG, if you believe that then you really deserve to be hacked. You cannot bring down the internet, because it is not all in one place. The internet doesn't exist, it is just a name for the connection of many servers and computers (with different IP addresses, in case you didn't know), so if you cracked one IP address, you could only take down every site on that server, which depending on what the server is (i.e. personal or business) it could be anything from one website to a hundred, out of the billions and billions that exist. The internet is not hackable (or even crackable), but servers (i.e. websites) are. Don't believe any sources that tell you things like that. If someone if very careful about security, like Brandon, then they will not get hacked. It is only people who get lax about security because they are so big and have not been hacked ever since they started many years ago that they deem themselves un-hackable, like EZBoards might have done. :mellow: |

If a hacker wants to get in, they won't always succeed. And that thing about the internet, the keyword here is that you heard that it happen. Possibly it did, though you should back it up with some information.

No one knows who actually made the attack. That's why there is a $5,000 reward for anyone with any information. |

So how come ezboard didn't make themselves as secure as IF? It seems pretty sensible to make it so you actually need to be on the Admin's computer... |

My guess is that their development team is much larger. |

Well you are just the exception to every rule. So you don't count. You are an anomaly.

Sorry to hear about EzBoard. One of my first forums was there (along with the old Network54, bbboy and other companies), and it's sad such a thing could happen. Hope they catch who did it. |

They are offering $5,000 for the information on who did it. |
