For those of you on yesterday who thought we'd come to a rather early end.

wrote:As you may be aware, ZetaBoards boards using custom domains experienced a temporary outage today. This was a result of a security breach with our ISP. At this time access has been restored and all boards should be accessible via their custom domains.

Thank you for your patience and we apologize for the temporary inconvenience.

Heh, it was goons.net. I tried to go on, but apparently, its a site for hackers. They said something about owning you...?

They accessed something to do with the domain system on the Invisionfree/Zetaboards network so that any forum using a custom domain were redirected one of their webpages.

Forum data was not accessed hence why we are still here.

It also only worked on InvisionFree boards - any using ZetaBoards with custom domains weren't affected.

This was basically a simple exploit of a minor vulnerability in the InvisionFree software so far as I can tell (though Brandon appears to be blaming it on their ISP - quite how a breach at the ISP could affect the domain system for *only* IF boards is beyond me), and didn't actually do anything beyond making some script kiddie look briefly cool.

Damn, I thought it would take longer to get back.

And then we could regroup on their forum Sailor Moon style, it would be awesome. ^_^

...we're doing Science and we're still alive...

I'm not sure I get it...

Go play Portal, heathen.

Bwahaha!

BTW, I got a pic the other night. What a fool. "Yeah, I'll thank all these internet groups so I can be cool!" Anonymous couldn't care less. They're much too busy organizing anti-scientology protests (one of which I am going to, dressed in a Guy Fawkes mask for some reason [I blame my friends for partial insanity. The other part is me])

;)

So... they owned you?

No. It was a (highly limited) attack on Zetaboards itself which affected a few sites using custom domains.

Where would we hypotheticaly have regrouped, as proposed by Luciene?

We could host a temporary forum under the bartiforums.com domain if necessary.
