At the time of this posting, the title for the CODI website is that it has been hacked, and the bottom of the page there is clipping of their image with the same message. I seriously doubt its a joke... And i find it pathetic that someone would attack a fansite.

Regardless of what anyone tells you, PHPNuke does have alot of security issues, especially in regard to hackers, I know nothing is perfect, but I'm serious when I say it has some major issues, especially when i've heard it from some serious web developers.

Just thought I would say this, I also know alot of the member worlds use Nuke.

It is not unusual for mindless twits to hack anythign they think they can regardless of the imact on anyone else. PHPNuke or anything else can be made "reasonable secure" but it takes effort no two ways about it. Unless you are a code wizard there really is no way arround this issue. I do regular backups of my data and have recovred from a hack successfully twice.

Subject: Hotmail user hacking websites


A user calling themselves HEXOr has been hacking sites, they've placed hack4arab@hotmail.com as their contact info. Here is a link to a screen shot of what they did

Is there anyway to kill their account so they cannot use hotmail as part of their hacking methods.
