I reccomend you use a random password generator for the time beeing, make your passwords non dictionary words and more than 8 letters long.

a bruteforce is a password cracker

You were cracked, meaning they found out the admin password. Not hacking. There has been a string of these occuring it would seem and whoever it is appears to blame fairly well known sites (IFS & IFSZ). Everyone needs to have secure passwords and secure emails as well. Use uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols and keep your email private also with a tough password.

is there anything i could do :'( they deleted everything

This is getting out of hand. Does moderation logs (if there were any made) show IP addresses? That might could help...

I think you can try to get Duffman to restore it, but I really wouldn't count on it. I know it sucks big time. That's why anyone who has a board needs to make sure all staff, especially G Mods and Admins have very secure passwords for both site and email to prevent these things.

I wouldn't even consider a cracker as a hacker. Cracking is probably the simplest type of security bypass, especially since there are so many programs out these days that can brute force passwords. Why anyone would want to waste their time hacking or cracking is beyond me.

DuffMan will probably do it for around $10.00 if not more if he can even do it.

Why would he charge? This is so gay.

I know how you feel man. I had my first successful forum hacked a month ago. 80+ members and 2,000+ posts.

To answer your question bhavin, the owner of the forum is responsible for everything that happens. It would not be an easy task to do.
