Greetings to all,
I'm new to the forum and unfortunately, I'm coming to you guys for some help since our forum was just hacked. I am not an expert with vBulletin, but unfortunately those who setup the forum are long gone and I've been trying to figure out things as a go along.
Anyway, the hack is that an image gets inserted at the bottom of the page through the footer code along with a link to http://clicknetsystem.com/jscript/pixel.js and I'm assuming this is getting run when you refresh the page.
I have figured out that the code that displays this is in the footer information and when I remove the following section of code, the image is no longer displayed and the java script is no longer being run. Here's the section of code I removed...
What I need to know is how to reset whatever the hacker did. It appears to me that I need to either update/change $cronimage or $vboptions[copyrighttext], but I don't know where to start...or if this is the only thing that I need to repair. So I would really appreciate any help you might be able to provide.
Thanks in advance.
