Ok, long funny story: I was (was) a member of a message board (mb for
short). I have my own mb (have as in I do the technical stuff), jbmb for
short. Anyway, mb got hacked. I had admin rights on mb, so I tried to
login, and failed. Somehow my admin rights were revoked. Some time
before another person admin (es) on mb, but not the owner, had asked on
jbmb why I had those rights. I had the feeling he had revoked them.
Anyway, I tried to contact the owner of mb, since I needed rights to fix
things. And for days, no reaction. So I called the owner, and I am sure
nobody here will be shocked, on jbmb a fuck up :-)
Anyway, es got pissed off because of this. I explained that when mb is
hacked and defaced (again), and the owner doesn't give a shit, that that
is no way to run a board. I had been asked to help out, and said yes,
and I could do no thing.
Then I recalled that the owner had given me passwords for myphpadmin,
and I checked a back up I made of mb a year ago on my machine, and
presto I found the pm with the passwords. I could get into myphpadmin,
reset my admin rights, and was able to fix the board.
One of the first replies to my "its fixed" post on mb was by the owner:
he had put back a few files (look, I did my job too). The thing is, the
defacing happened because someone inserted HTML in the database and made
sure it was the only thing showing up on the board. So restoring files
was not going to fix this issue (I had already done so :-)).
Anyway, es said aloud that only a hacker could have fixed in such a
short time (mb was defaced for 2 weeks, and it took me hours to fix it
in a non-destructive way), especially because I had no admin rights
anymore.
The sad thing is that a lot of people picked his idea up, despite
knowing me for years. I had hacked the board, defaced it, etc. People
who defended me on the board were given the option: shut up, or fuck
off. Post were deleted. I got quite some new members that day :-) Sadly
including people who tried to find prove of my hacker activities.
Not saying that KimmoA was victim of a joe job nor the opposite. But
those things do happen.
