Our vBulletin forum has been hacked 3 times in 2 weeks. Twice by the same person. I am currently running version 5.1.9 and having a little difficulty upgrading to 5.2.0.
Is it normal to be hacked this much? I changed the file names correctly (checked several times) and followed the instructions to the letter... This guy that hacked us twice even bragged about it on his FB page... I took a screen shot of what it looked like...
This is his FB page... https://www.facebook.com/AmZi4
Any ideas on how to secure our forum better? I am trying to upgrade, after the installation of the (properly prepared) 5.2.0 files, I uploaded to the server using FileZilla. I then pointed my browser to "http://www.evolvegt.net/core/install/upgrade.php". I did not have a "pathtoforums" in my directory since I upload directly to the root and the forum does not live in a subfolder. After it navigates me to the site the directions say that I am supposed to get a login prompt asking me to enter my customer number. This prompt does not appear. If the prompt does not appear how can I run the scripts?
Any help is appreciated. I am really getting upset that our forum is being hacked this often and I have to go in and upload all the files from backup...
