You have it correct, that is the latest version.
The patch is to protect the software from a previous found attack.
This topic is about a attack on a web host. As mentioned already
Which the two are separate issues.

So you are good to go for the forum software.

Now I am getting Database error only visible to forum administrators... One of my users said the right side islands were not showing up so I went into control panel and tried to update the layout and after I hit update setting I get the above error now. WTF...

You people need to contact Mindraven to resolve your issues.
Venting here is one thing but if you don't open a support ticket then they are not aware of any problems you have.

Also if you have logs enabled you would be able to view detailed info on the error instead of the generic message.

I plan to contact them Ruben, but this morning the only way to contact them was here as their mail server was hosted on the same server that was hacked.... Not sure keeping you business email server on the same shared server as your "Paying" customers is such a good idea....

I think I have this turned on but not sure where to look...

In your include folder, you have config.inc.php.bak & config.inc.php.

I have just replaced the two files and it seem to work now.

Many of us are logical, patient, understanding, long suffering etc. UNTIL OUR FORUM GOES DOWN smile

Am not surprised he gave you his personal cell phone number. As I said before... they go above and beyond.

Israel, I lived in Québec for 8 years, in fact I was about 20 km from you in St Antoine sur Richelieu. Maybe you already know this but I can tell you that we Americans can be kind of intolerant. We aren't as nice as you Canadians, specially when it comes to politics and business!

Also it may not be the fault of Mindraven if you have not upgraded to the latest security patch.
BTW, I am with mindraven and currently my site is fine.

I just got an email from MindRaven (which is funny because I don't host with them, so evidently they took it from the affiliate table) which says:

Hi,

We are performing an emergency re-install on the server and will restore all of your last night backup.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hi,

Re-installation of Foxy server has been cancelled because there is no problem with it.

We will only re-install clients on BOX1.

Thank you.

seems the hacker really did a number on the server. Awaiting the backed up data to get everything going again.... I hope !!

A member was on my site just as it was hacked and said it was tn-pirate who hacked the server.

I googled tn-pirate and found a bunch of other sites he hacked and still controls.

Sorry for my late response here but since yesterday, i have sleep only 3 hours.. we work on this issue a lot !! We are the aim of an hacker team (TN_pirate & TN_scorpion). Since the latest hack the 13th January, we have invested 1000$ in security specialist and firewall equipment to prevent future attack and again.. we are attacked and this times the hackers have completely defaced the entire servers. Fortunately, we have off-site backup and we work a lot at this times to recovery all websites for tonight.

We are simply not lucky.. even the bigger web hosting company are hacked everyday like dreamhost, hostgator, etc..

When an hacker decide to kill you, is it really hard to block him, even if you are a worldwide web host.

Don't worry for your website, we make daily backup and all websites are up-to-date, only post from the day of 27th will be lost and we apologize for this.

Thank you to everyone for your understanding.

I am sure there is a valid reason. And I don't want to get into a mindraven bashing.

But myself I have had enough.

I have been offline all afternoon. Besides a existing email issue I started on yesterday.

Mindraven Hosting

Hi,

As most of you may have noticed, we have had a few problems with security and the stability of our servers due to a recent, powerful hack.

We are working hard at Mindraven Hosting to fix everything that has been damaged by the pirate.

Our servers went down today for about 2 hours to perform an emergency security maintenance to make sure that what happened dosen't happen again.

Our servers MAY experience a few other downtimes during this next week because we will be greatly enforcing security and backup mesures.

If there are any downtimes, there should be pretty short and nobody should panic if sometimes, something is not working correctly on their website.

If your website seems to be affected by something, open up a support ticket and it will be a pleasure to assist you.

Again, we are truly sorry for what happened are actively working on solving all the problems we have.

We sincerely hope that this event didn't affect your trust in our company.

Thank you

Honestly, with issue after issue I don't see why you guys aren't demanding refunds and going elsewhere...

My site was out for 39 minutes or less, 3:23 PM to 4:02 PM Pacific Standard time (Z-8), based on web cam uploads.

I'm sticking with Mindraven so far.

Hacked again! This time it has been down several hours. There is no response from the server when I try my site or my ftp connection.

Several other sites show:
This Site Was Hacked By
Tn-PiRaTe
TuN!S!3N H4Ck3R ...
All Muslims - Tunisia People - My Friends ..
*uck 4 : Israel <--I added the *

even gives an email: Tn-PiRaTe@HoTMaiL.Fr

If you Google "tn-pirate" dozens of hacked sites come up. He's obviously found a back door to break into many servers. Pretty danged annoying.

it was about 11pm est last night when I realized my site was down. All I ever saw was it was timing out. I never saw any evidence of it being hacked. I sent in a ticket last night and usually get a response within minutes but havent heard back.

Did anyone actually see the Tn-pirate message on their website this time?

This crap is getting old !!!

iweb's blog reports:

Sorry. I'm a new user to this forum and did not realize that another topic had been opened on this. Anyone have an update or know what is going on? The entire MindRaven web site is down, no one answers the phone there and my site has been down all day.

Update 09/02/2012 17:40 EST – The incident affecting our network network is now resolved. Note that a few servers are still experiencing connectivity issues...
But here 90 minutes after that post, Mindraven and all the sites managed by them (including mine) appear to still be down.
