Server hacked?
« on: March 20, 2026, 11:14:38 PM »
Looks like your server might have been hacked, passwords compromised.

Someone logged into my account, even with the forum having a unique password only used on this site and not shared, and posted something dodgey, probably sex related links. I received a warning from "Amiga.org". They also changed my profile details to female, 38 and living in Algeria. I've changed my password, let's see if it happens again.

The usage stats indicate that this site might be compromised:
Users Online: 4005 Guests, 2 Users, 20 Spiders
Most Online Today: 18031

@redact a post was made by your account this evening. It was reported and I deleted it and sent a warning message. I'm a forum moderator, but not an admin.

I saw your account was created a while ago but never posted with, but thought this might be a tactic of spammers; to create an account, leave it dormant and then post.

Thanks for posting a response and explanation and a great first move to change your password.

No worries mate. I did create it quite a while ago, but been lazy and haven't logged in for a while.
Still not sure how anyone managed to get into the account, as I said, it's a unique password and not shared on any other sites. I've used a random generator to make a new one and changed my profile settings back to what they should be, sadly not a sexy 38 year old milf!

Just keep an eye open for any other dodgey posts that might indicate a compromise to the user/password database at your end. Hope that helps!
