DarkDude Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 Yep, shame no other admins are on, tallest needs to banned asap. Don't think mods have the ability to ban people, well not other admins anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scars Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Yeah, someone must've gotten into his account. But these topics don't open so, it's alright. :-k Thanks to WithTheQuickness for the sig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkDude Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 The newest announcement just did, and he posted some topics on general, luckily those topics were deleted fast, but not before they got a fair amount of views >_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeWelshGuy Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Yep, definitely been hacked. He also posted a topic full of passwords, I don't know if they are real, but they've been deleted thank goodness. Retired Tip.It Crew Mapper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scars Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 If you try to open the thread on global announcements or even the general thread, you'll probably get this message "The topic or post you requested does not exist". So, whatever content is being posted inside, we can't see it or atleast I couldn't see it. Thanks to WithTheQuickness for the sig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentBlond Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Yes, TIF has been hacked, and obviously they're working on it already. The forums will probably be down for a while while they reencrypt. Now would be a good time to change your pass if it's the same as your runescape pass.

Umega Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Oh noes! Tallest's account got hijacked? :uhh: Now would be a good time to change your pass if it's the same as your runescape pass.

DarkDude Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 Phew, we're back. Down for the best part of 2 days. Didn't expect it to do be down for nearly that length of time. Important thing is that it's back up now though and hopefully no harm was done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InkofDeath Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Hopefully TIF is stronger now. ^^ I wonder how hard those blokes were trying to hack the forums, recently quite a few Fan Site Forums, and some pure clan forums have been hacked, most notably Pure Community getting hacked three times in the past two months, whether thats low security, or another reason I don't know. Hopefully no permanent harm has been done...I missed Tip.It too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercifull Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I would doubt very much that Tipit was "hacked". I would guess it was to do with the recent scam email purporting to be from the admins which actually contained a key-logger and Tallest1 got sucked in by it. Rather than the security issue being on tipits side I would almost guarantee that it was a pebkac. Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.
