Taht sucks. Well, you can call Duffman to reopen your forum, or you can ask one of the smarter, more knowledgeable members.

Make a new board. Be more careful with who you give ACP access in future.

Make sure you have a secure Admin password and email password in future.

Also, you might want to back up your forums somewhere else.

Ok....

A) Write an E-Mail to Invisionfree and Get Them to Investigate O_o

B) Make a New Forum

C) Call Yourself an Idiot and Do Nothing

Good Luck Babe ;)

He probely figured out your email password and had your password email to him through the Password Recovery system. Or he was able to figure out your username password. Also if you use that password on any other forum (using the same password every forum you go to) it is possible that he had a code that recorded the passwords.

My suggestion would be to create another forum, and send a support ticket in telling InvisionFree staff that your forum was hacked. They can restore you back to ROOT Admin, or I think for mabey $5 you can have your forum backed up so that you won't lose any posts or members. But act fast, he can do more damage if you give him more time!

InvisionFree, for the most part, is unhackable. He cracked your password, which is your own fault for making such an easy-to-guess password. Nevertheless, if you want your forum back I suggest either
1 - Asking Duffman
2 - Beg
3 - Sign him up for beastiality po... nevermind. Bad idea :o

i saw a nasty little script somewhere on one of the underground sites.....its a thing that e-mail bombs their inbox with kiddy porn and at the same time reports them to the feds...priceless :P

My advice: dont get on the bad side of hacker. Nasty things happen....and i mean downright horrid. Your best bet is not to get even, just report it. If you dont know what your doing to protect yourself then you will be the one doing federal time for hacking.
