    Default The problem with this hacking thing

    The only people with sufficient access to sort it out seems to be nvrspk (different timezone), sierk (different timezone, mr.osh (away since 5 months ago?), and Jin (busy/away?)

    Give AGMs access so somebody whos here in our timezone can fix errors/hackings
    The other day I was in a toilet.
    A voice came from the cubicle next to me: "Hello mate, how are you doing?"
    I didn't want to be rude, so I said, "Not too bad, thanks."
    I heard the voice again. "So, what are you up to?"
    Again I answered, "Just having a quick ****... How about yourself?"
    Then I heard him say "Sorry, mate, I'll have to call you back. I've got some **** in the cubicle next to me answering everything I say."

    I believe Sammeth has access as the redirecting of hxl has been sorted (so obviously somebody has fixed it.) I dont think its just those 4 who have access to the site FTP

    Sam did post he does have it but it's been playing up and hasn't been able to access it for a few days.

    Shouldnt be too hard of connecting to an ftp server? But he must have access seeing as it has all been sorted out (the redirecting etcetera)

    Mrs.McCall removed the redirect, because as News Manager he has the right access. I did redirect to Habbox via the HxL cPanel but that was hastily removed by one of those sexually deprived people. They haven't exactly done anything severe, just caused a minor inconvenience. It's a shame that one member of staff fell victim during this.

    I only have manager perms on Habbox but as Scotty said its been playing up. Its just testament to how little they've actually done

    Yeah, I outlined this in my thread. However, you have to see the other side also. Management are very reluctant to give people full admin access to the sites and rightly so, for obvious reasons. I'm sure after this there has to be a change because things were dealt with well enough but still room for improvement. For example, the article was there for quite a while and HxL being redirected.

    The problem with that is that only news manager, site editors, senior news reports and agms have access to edit ALL habbox.com articles. I logged on later than usual and, as Sam's perms weren't fixed, deleted it straight away.


    Mrs.McCall - I'm out of this world.

    I wasn't there when it all happened, but I've picked things up.

    I think its unreasonable that you said it wasnt done quick enough. Not every day that habbox.com gets hacked so it's hard to keep your head straight when there's people running about claiming habbox has been hacked.

    And by the looks of it, they dealt with it very well and they're keeping it updated

    I think it's very impressive tbh!

    If you actually read about before jumping to conclusions you'd see I was the first to congratulate them on their reaction. However, I'm sure they will agree there was room for improvement, that isn't me being unreasonable but merely a fact.

    You can't use the excuse "it's not every day habbox gets hacked". There should be actions to prevent managers using similar passwords for everything they use. Of course, I'm not going to put blame on anybody as that isn't my job and if anyone is to fault I have no doubt nvrspk4 will deal with them privately.

    I think the reaction to the threat of the forum was remarkable. Garion placed a temporary ban on ,Jess, account within a minute of the realisation it was her who had been compromised. However, the article on Habbox.com was there for quite a while. Like Joey pointed out people weren't online. They can't be online all the time but for people who don't use the forum and went onto the site the article was advertising they were at threat and that's a dangerous place to be.

    Even as a normal member I would like to think I did what I could to help which did include me being banned on a forum I won't mention :8 so I don't really want to have to listen to you, who wasn't even online, lecturing me.
