Article Directories hacked

Morning all!

Just a 'heads up'.

I just noticed that a load of 'minor' article directories have been hacked by someone who calls him/herself: 7FaaN H4Ck3R

Although there is unlikely to be any ill effects to the submitters' computer while trying to log in, it does mean that your registration and log in details could be in someones hands.

Maybe its time to change some passwords and usernames!

    I believe it is the Article Dashboard script, and from what I am told, the source code is encrypted, so you can't just have a programmer find the issue and fix it.

    It is okay to contact me! I have been developing software since 1999, creating many popular products like phpLD.

    All the more reason to deal with a secured article directory because as stated above, the issue can not be fixed unless the owner of the script did so and released a update. From what I am told he no longer supports or updated the script.

      article directories need to beef up their server security:confused:

      I would have thought that these precautions would have been already taken.
