    2nd problem discovered with hack

    Staff - please see my ticket 2493-QUXM-2136

    URL settings were fixed, Oleg's fix applied, but site is still hacked! Site works fine via navigating directly, but when you try and access a post/thread through Google, it redirects to URL2SHORT.INFO - free url redirection and masking service

    PLEASE HELP!

    You need to check Security issue and properly protect your server. That issue has nothing to do with vBSEO. In fact many sites that don't use vBSEO faced the same issue. We will highlight more details soon however just to let you know , if your server is properly setup , the security issue we fixed today will not cause any problems to your site at all.

    You aren't being any help. Please reply to ticket. You don't understand what I'm saying - THIS EXPLOIT HAPPENED THE SAME TIME MY VBSEO URL REWRITES WERE CHANGED DURING THE LAST FEW HOURS! And yes I know that has happened to people in the past, I saw that thread before, but this happened tonight! And FYI I'm not on a shared server and yes it's secure. Basically what I'm saying is that this instance must have been made possible by this latest vbSEO config exploit that unraveled during the last 24 hours.

    Sir ,

    Those two issues are not related each other. Redirect hack and last nights settings change hack are two different items but both can only be exploited if your server is not properly secured. Redirect hack is directly related to your server and it IS not related to vBSEO. Many boards whom don't have vBSEO faced the same issue. It is not hard to see an hacker that your server is not properly secured and perform a second attack on your site.

    We take security very serious , in fact this is only third or fourth security issue in vBSEO history and the patch is released asap. However if you have proof that redirect hack is performed through vBSEO , please supply those details to us within a support ticket.

    Closing this thread now.
