Have a look what it says .. http://www.melbournevictory.net/forum/

“”"”" The forum was hacked today, lost data. If anyone wants whats left, with the forum license and domain to get it back up, let me know on twitter @melbvictorynet”"”"”

Arguably the biggest club forum in the A-League … it is closed down with the above message …

Passwords .. links to home email accounts and home computers etc … I read about these things and am wondering aloud what it all means ….

As I said … I would appreciate anybody’s knowledge and advice about what if anything a member of a forum should do knowing the site has been hacked …

This must have been a total job and with little IT skills in this area I am amazed how this site and its history has now been lost … I am concerned and seek advice about my Midfielder [handle for want of a better word] … should I change this because it appears the hackers had the skill to break tho the MV forum controls password etc… would my Midfielder [handle] be better to be changed …

Just a word to any MV forum member … this is very sad as MV along with SFC had some of the best football discussions I have seen plus information and links …. so sad this is all lost and a lot of my stuff as well…

The prick is even boasting about it .. looks like everything has been deleted imagine how the people who put this together feel..

Don't have backups, don't have sympathy.

Have you contacted the police?

how the fuck am i supposed to waste my time at uni now?

Given I use to post on it sometimes....no .... just feel for the guys that ran it ... 8 years of history ... gone...

I am devastated, I can only hope it comes backup. I have been on there since 2005

this is actually pretty terrible. All those threads all gone...

Barack'll have a backup

All that combined wisdom, lost to future generations

"Myanmar Muslim Cyber Force" Wtf.

Why no back ups?

Sorry for your loss.

I think the gloryboys forum got hacked or something also, that was a while a go though.

Tunnas words of wisdom
all the anti afl threads
And the kewell thread was so close to hitting 1000........

:(

and "The Fuck Off Heart" Thread.... the first few posts, igniting the hate... (Think I'm going to choke up) :P

Change passwords often, keep your username.

This would have been an opportunistic attack, forums are regularly taken down by hacker groups scanning millions of forums at a time for vulnerabilities. The admin of MV.net has been inactive for a very long time (years), and its unlikely that the forum software had been updated or backed up lately leaving any security vulnerabilities that the software had completely open.

How could you tell with the old GB forum?:-k

Burma***

Long time MV forum user, fucken pissed it was hacked. I think the hackers were more closer to home

ALF? :lol:

either an gayFL forum or those Anarchy Forum fuckwits

It was 442 Burmese terrorists.

its back up now

All the common forum software salts / hashes / encrypts user passwords by default. You *should* be fine. Not a guarantee though. I'm no expert mind you. Have to remember though that your password will be worth little to most hackers. Few if any will have the time or skill to bother with protected password database. Generally there would need to be credit card data to interest anyone. They were probably only able to hack because of out of date forum software / SQL injection, so again probably don't have the skill to get to your password.

Also forum data can get quite large, most hobbyists won't bother with backups once it gets to a few gigs.

Forum was giving off mySQL errors, so either forum software was not updated to work with what SQL version the server had, or a SQL hack did it. That's what I figure anyway.

Have no new people been added to the forum since the admin became inactive?

Would suck to have a forum you frequent taken down. I know I'd be sad if something happened here.

I think he was being sarcastic, what is SQL anyway?

Database programming language / system. Everything on the forum is in some kind of database, usernames, passwords, threads, posts etc. From there most use php etc to display that data into a viewable forum.

lil bobby drop tables strikes again.

And for those that don't get the reference http://xkcd.com/327/

I'm guessing there would have probably only been a handful of threads. Something like "Omg melburn da best!!!"
Best club ever in 07 but not anymore!!1

Crowds!!!

Maybe Muscat did it, I know he was a good hacker ;)

This is why foreign aid is dropping.

:lol: :lol: :lol:



Thanks.

The software (vbulletin) they used had a big security flaw that was released to the world a week or two ago. The pcpowerplay gaming forum got hacked as well, same software.

They really should have backups though. That's the golden rule of anything on the internet.

The boats are still coming and the forums are crashing.....

Myanmar Muslim Cyber Force = South Melbourne FC

I can think of 1 particular thread of interest to the insurgents

And btw, just went there and my virus protection alerted me that it blocked malware

Fox sports ratings thread?

Nf.net lost all of its content a year or two ago. "The foz v2" is in full swing again (although this last week has been down due to changing of credit cards led to host payment issues.

I know them feels, mv.net guys. There's so many old threads on foz v1 I wish I could go back to on our one

Looks like they've managed to get it back in once piece. Thank goodness, my four posts there remain for posterity. :lol:

Just went there and once again malware was trying to say hello.:-k

Taken down again...

Someone needs to change the password from Archie4ever

Just the home page is down, have to use your browser history to navigate.

It lives! :lol:

OMG AGAIN

WHY?? WE ARNT A RACIST PAGE IN MYANMAR

Sounds like you need the help of the Mack.

"Go to facebook and cry"

Anyone who knows what MV mods are doing ... site came back on for a short while.. then hacked ... posted you could get in via your log in... that no longer works...

Appreciate any information ....

Gotta feel for these guys .....

Still has malware when you visit

login and forum request gets the following

Error: The requested address '/404.shtml' was not found on this server.

Why is this still in AF?

Where would you have it?

Same place as the MV forums; in the shitter.

-PB

Extra Time, the place for this sort of stuff. It isn't at all football related.

Does anyone know if it is lost forever or are people working on it ...

A group of people are working on it, only one of which is actually an IT professional.

well I hope and pray the fozza comes back soon, this one just doesnt cut it and I seriously questioning the value of the interwebs without it

How is this ET? It's A-League related.

General Ashnak had a whine.

](*,)

Some people on this forum.

thats why we need the fozza back, this place is boring

Who?

A forum is HAL related? :lol: Over inflated sense of entitlement is obvious.

Of course it is A-league related. It is a forum about a club in the competition.

So we should have a WATR thread in AF to discus goings on with the WATR forum? It is most certainly not AF, it is ET. At the very most why not just place it within their already dedicated MVFC thread? Why does it need a separate thread?

Because there's actually relevant news about the vuck forum, I'm surprised you hicks even have internet access.

Use your dedicated thread, or are you really that stupid? If you want to communicate with other MVFC fans then go here: http://au.fourfourtwo.com/forums/default.aspx?g=posts&t=8056 not hard is it?

I generally tend to have quite a broad view of what is on topic but I think it is related enough for the thread to be allowed in the Australian Football. People can choose not to read it if they do not wish to read it.

We have threads for every single news article about any club, should they be posted exlusively in the clubs own thread?

MV.net is not MVFC, you must really be deluded to believe otherwise.

It's relevant news for melbourne fans.

And you have a MVFC fan thread. Pretty obvious where info to do with them goes?

The strenuous link of being a fan forum isn't enough to make it Australian Football related. Simple as that.

In the relevant subforum for fans of an AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL team.

We could always just close the thread as it is discussing another website.

Edited by Joffa: 14/9/2013 09:25:16 PM

But Joffa, it's just getting exciting:)

Of course, sorry my mistake, carry on.....

discussing a forum is Extra Time.

I disagree.

Nobody cares for your opinion as it is, melbourneboys. Kicking up a stink every time the mods do something hardly enhances your integrity.

I think you mean tenuous.

:lol:

GA is pure gold after a few whiskeys

Watch out JoFFA, they took our fozz and now they are coming for you. some little twat on the forum has ratted out our fun to the bunch of nutters on their FB page.

Nikos Vokolos: "Myanmar Muslim's deserve a voice! I was in Washington in May protesting infront of the white house against U Thein Sein and his genocide. Having recently moved to Australia I am sick of the racism displayed on Australian websites against muslims. I would like to bring to your attention this football forum (http://au.fourfourtwo.com/forums/) which has threads that openly encourage discrimination against muslims and even had some members laughing at Myanmar Muslim Cyber Force the other day (http://au.fourfourtwo.com/forums/default.aspx...), some posts were deleted by the admins but comments such as "Muslim Cyber Force = South Melbourne FC" remain, South Melbourne FC is considered a laughing stock in Australian football."

TIL muslims are a race.

I don't think you fully grasp the volume of the vuck forums, a forum jst like our club sets the limit on the australian scale. A forum that pisses on the thought of being a benchmark in australia. With this my adelaide friend is why you are posting here, not at adelaideunited forum.

Such self indictment belongs only at the vuck forums, out of place here mate.

flog

They also hacked Singapore football.

It's funny how quickly they overtook Olympic as the most deluded, annoying state league supporters.

Who is / was fozz

I hope they take this site, at times.

amen

I miss the fozza :cry:

may the overlords breathe life back into it once again [-o<

Did that Harry thread ever end up reaching 1000 pages?

Was close but not quite there...

about 22 pages short.I was sure the 1st derby would have seen it hit 1000 and then be locked

:lol: The traffic of it is so ginormous that upon shutting down other football forums see basically zero change in their traffic and users :lol:

Thats fucked if my South Melbourne comment actually offends them...im like...half scared..i think. Funny how he thinks south are a joke when he's a greek??

He's probably a supporter.

Weird, just watched that film a few days a go..
