Title: The FBI forums
Post by: Teddy on September 08, 2012, 10:39:27 pm
As many may have noticed, the past roughly 72 hours the entire FBI subdomain was locked down.

First off, we'd like to thank all of the members who didn't panic and spam our PMs or message boxes alternatively trying to find what was going on. Secondly, we'd like to thank SugarD, and Paul for assisting with the initial investigations as well as providing the webmasters with support and advise on the situation.

As the investigation is currently on going, we aren't going to release any other information however, we the webmasters, along with HQ agree and feel that there is no risk in restoring the subdomain and the forums. As a security precaution, we have reset all users passwords, you will need to use the forgot password feature to regain access. Please either contact myself, or Chase for assistance with this.

A topic here (http://fbi.argonathrpg.com/forum/index.php?topic=5773.msg45136#new) on the forums has been created to give a bit more details than we have here.

Regards,
Teddy,
FBI Webmaster
& Chase
FBI Webmaster

You should be able to click 'Forgot my password' and then 'Change my password with my 'secret question''. Once you have re-logged in change your email to an active one. If this doesn't work contact Teddy or any of the FBI web team.

The true reason is someone in anonymous hacked teddy's Ipad 3 because they got his info from the real FBI they put 1+2 and came out w/ 3.14(w/e the rest pie is) so yeah.

No I lie, the new forums are much stabler and much more helpful for users of the entire forum both members and applicants.

I don't even have an IPAD, not an apple fan.. Windows most of the way, linux for the rest :)

Web development 101 - never leave your database password on the front page.

That wasn't exactly the issue.

Don't know but since the password was on the front page for the last four weeks or so I thought it would be good to point it out.

Why are you publicly stating this now instead of telling the Webmasters back then? That is something you shouldn't be keeping to yourself...

Trolling isn't going to gain you any advantages here.

Rushing conclusions (which are false) about a person's statement are not going to gain anyone any advantadges either.

All I am saying is that it was not a cool thing to do. There was another mistake indeed related to security, and it was pointed out. No intentions of pissing anyone here off. ;)

The statements are false. The "front page" as added a few days ago, and a months before that it was a basic HTML template. as for Web Development 101, funny I've actually been a guest speaker at a college for entry level web development and going back again this year as guest speaker.

We are aware a leak came from an individual, not any site or malicious attack against the service. Our site and system is monitored frequently by myself and Chase, and constantly checked by our AI plugin (SkyNet).

Here is the old "front page": http://fbi.argonathrpg.com/oldhome/ (http://fbi.argonathrpg.com/oldhome/)
