IanD Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 I have just recived notice from a friend who is affiliated with aqua-soft and he has told me that Aqua-soft was indeed, hacked. Using an undisclosed apache flaw, some hackers wrecked havok on the aqua-soft.org server taking it to its knees. No backups because their backup FTP was also hacked and rm -rf / (Format). KoL's folder was also destroyed from this hack.. More info comming, when availible. Source: In-House Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stunod7 Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 It's a shame... Probably someone who disagrees with something on the website, highest reason for hacking amongst 12 year olds who know too much and aren't mature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KebecoiS Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 I see some reasons for hacking Microsoft but I see no reasons hacking a free nice site where alot of resources are available...

Fusion Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 I see some reasons for hacking Microsoft but I see no reasons hacking a free nice site where alot of resources are available... I mean, aren't hackers meant to be for free stuff and against paying sutff and things like that?arg! There are manny reason someone would want to do this. Someone got offended on the board, and thought they would take it out on them. Someone has a personal issue with one of the Admins there. An apple related person or just a Mac elitist who is offended by the content of the site or just has a problem with it in general. This is not the first time AS has been hacked and it will not be the last. I was a member there for over 2 years before I finally bought a Mac, and let me say, I remember it being down more than it was up. Granted, a lot of the problems were avoidable, but a lot were not. I remember it being a great community of people, but just like anywhere else, where there is more than one person someone is bound to get offended. It's not like Neowin has never been hacked and I imagine there are many more attempts that we are even aware of. Everyone at AS, sorry to hear about it. I hope you guys are able to get back up and running soon. (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timan Veteran Posted December 8, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 8, 2003 Aqua-Soft was not directly hack, the server was, do to some flaw in apache so RACKSHACK says... I have no physical backup of the site anymore because I was dumb enough to upload it to the site it self while I formated my comp the other day. We might be able to get a backup it all depends on Rackshacks' lazyness... sry for the trouble though... tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christoffer Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 :pinch: i dont know a think about "how you hack", but i have a hard time finding out its purpose.. why do you just want to destroy for someone? thats just lame and unmature.. and if i understood it correctly these guys werent 12 year olds since they really gave the server hell.. but wtf, i dunno **** about hacking.. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
