Thumbs down Forum Database error

Couple of people have flagged an error message they are getting, especially if you select new posts.

Looking into it, and will hopefully have it fixed asap!

Turns out its a security exploit for VBSEO and has hit multiple forums, looking at a fix now

Lightbulb Phew... we're back!!

Didn't need that this morning!!

Downside of running off the shelf software A security hole was found in the forum software, specifically the SEO plug in side of it, which allowed some git to run a shell script and knock out our database.

There's a number of vbulletin threads running, as it's impacted a few forums, incase anyone has their own vB forum.
https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/show...d-to-red/page3

Plus it didn't help that we were running an older version of vB and an unsupported version of vBSEO.

So have disabled vBSEO, and upgraded vB to 3.8.7 which has resolved the issue, but you may notice ugly unfriendly URLs!

Currently awaiting the activation link for the latest vBSEO code, so when that arrives, I'll upgrade that, which may be a short outage later on.

Time for a sandwich!

I was kinda worried about it, but knew you would sort it somehow. Any way of tracking the git that did this?
