i was freaking out i thought it was my pc that was messed with.

Good job.

Wow! I missed it! So, what happened (ie, what did it look like to alert you it had been hacked?)

in my school we (actually mostly some of my nerd buddies) helped the comupter teacher set up the security last year so we could do whatever we wanted but then this year they got a pro to do it.

The version of vbulletin this site is using is vulnerable to multiple attacks including script insertion and cross scripting.


Some of the holes appear to be patchable only through version upgrades.

The head in the sand approach rarely works.

Determining how the attack occurred and mitigating would be the proper approach.

Attacks can easily be automated without regard to what site is being targeted.

It likely wasn't someone with an axe to grind with BP.net, but rather someone who found a hole and exploited it.
