UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.classic UBB.classic 6 Support so what are the back doors?

Apparently theres a backdoor to ubb because an ex admin hacked my board (I had removed all admins except myself) and erased an entire forum. He claims all he did was make the forum private so no one could post. But when I re-enabled it there were zero posts.

Any suggestions?

If this user had FTP access, they could have easily compromised other accounts, or promoted another account. To see what he did, you could review /noncgi/banlist/adminlog*.cgi and see what has been done, assuming you have the logging enabled.

Switching a public forum to private doesn't delete the files in the forum. If you switch it back to public, the posts should come back, assuming they didn't have FTP access.

I just found out that they acecssed everything as moderator. I wasnt aware mods had such control so its not a back door afterall <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Still I have much to repair.

Yes, Moderators have the ability to access the CP and change things ONLY on the forums they moderate.
