Forum Outage

Looks like a script kiddie managed to get an auto emailer program on the server, using a security vulnerability in OpenX, the banner software.

This caused the mail log to grow rapidly filling the partition, which in turn stopped SQL from running, thus the forum was down.

I have disabled the banners for now and put the code in a not accessible area.

I will take a look at getting the banners back as soon as I can, assuming they have fixed the security problem in a newer version.

You have to be the only one who’s ever tried placing a post on an SQL notice :stuck_out_tongue: :lol: :lol: :lol:
