      We would need to see server logs to be able to tell how they got in specificly.

      If you did get effected by that shell script its not going to be fun cleaning.
      it was low level, nothing major damaged.

      if i take some hacks away, ppl go apesh$$. Ppl love to be able to get points to change their username and stuff like that. There are hacks that make it easier to administrate as well that I can't live w/o. expecially having such a huge board.

        Are you 100% sure there was no harm done?

        If they have gotten access to a server commandline, they could have left hidden scripts giving them access again any time they want.

        Like Zachery said, if they had time for this, it won't be fun cleaning.

          It is very highly possible that they have done more than delete a few vB files, this is usually a ploy to distract you from the real damage.
