Jeb Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Note to the mods: I hate to be obvious but it needs to be said. Check the computer that was hacked for any leftover backdoors left open after you clean it. Also, ...wasn't your email service attacked a little while ago? Coincidence?

Naptown Bengal Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 WTF?? How did this happen? Who would do this? It looks like random people were deleted and I wasn't one of them.

|Bunghole| Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Gulp....here goes.... This happened because of me. There's a portion of your browser if you're a moderator that has an admin control panel. The irony in this is that I hardly ever open it up, as we never really have to ban anyone, not usually. So yesterday, I'd been on the board on and off, I was also off from work, had my boys with me at home, built some tinkertoy windmills, anyway, I decided to open that control panel and read about some of the functions on it that I've never used, just you know, to learn. Anyway, I needed to clean mysel up and get some chow ready for me and my sons, but when I left my computer, I only turned the monitor off and didn't exit from any of my browser windows. When I got back to my PC later, I saw that I had approximately 30 browser windows open, mostly Yahoo and Limewire. I figured "Ah jeez, the two year old was on the PC again", because he knows how to turn the monitor on, work the speakers and the mouse. Usually when he gets on he just whacks away at the keyboard, but this time, since that admin control panel was open....he must have deleted your accounts by mistake. The thing is I didn't realize what had happened at the time because all I did was "X" out of all those open browsers and then I had to restart my computer, because the little shit had crashed it with all those windows open. When I got up this morning, there was a PM in my inbox from Go, alerting me to what had happened. I honestly had no idea until then. Let me be the first to apologize for my indiscretion (leaving the admin box unattended), and for any grief, anger or inconvenience it may have caused to any of our members affected. Deleted by a little boy that turns two next month....unfuckingbelievable.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bring this up because I know exactly how everyone feels in this incidence but I wasn't given the explanation offered here nor was I offered any help by bengals.com staff and even Andy Ware treated me like a pariah with a generic form letter. All I ask is that all those affected give it time, cool off, and let it go. All I ask of the admin is to help them recover whatever they can. Kids will be kids.
