4images hacked again
« on: April 25, 2006, 07:58:10 PM »
Dear Sirs,

Three months ago my 4images gallery (http://gallery.gl) was hacked, with the hacker leaving numerous comments with links to porn sites. I reinstalled the gallery (v 1.7.1) with all the security fixes and yesterday I saw it had been hacked again. So I installed v.1.7.2 and today it was hacked again.

What do I do now? I'm looking forward to your opinion.

I think you misinterpreting word "hacked"....
"hacked" is when a hacker broke into your server/site, by using security holes in a script or system itself and did modifications in the code or other bad stuff on the server or modifying settings of a script, etc.

Leaving comments with links to porn sites is no way can be considering as a hacking :roll:

P.S. just in case, redownload 4images v1.7.2 package again, and replace global.php on your server from this package, there have been some changes in that file which I'm going to publish if its not published yet (still reading last posts since my last visit;))
Your first three "must do" before you ask a question:
Please do not PM me asking for help unless you've been specifically asked to do so. Such PMs will be deleted without answer. (forum rule #6)

Well...the hacker also put a file in my gallery's root directory and changed admin's password. I would say that's hacking.
