I packed my Hipclub card away so I haven't logged in to THC to see what the hell you guys are talking about.
bt.etree seems to be working fine.
you won't need your card.... just click "Continue"
why would some hack a unused site. What will this accomplish, The unused site now cant be used. good work guys, keep up the good work.
Its a worm that hits phpbb sites.

Lance, please ask your Hosting company to apply the patch to PHP if they have not done so already!
Seems to be a lot of this crap happening lately. Damn script kiddies.
Just happened a few days ago to AVCANADA.CA (an aviation forum):

I hope it doesn't hit the base...*knocks on wood*
I did notice that when logging onto the hip club, It would tell me that the security certificate was invalid...so there's a sign...right?
Here is the response I got from the hosting company for hipfans.com & hipbase.com when queried about the worm and upgrading their php version:
Quote:RE: phpBB nevernosanity worm
Hi Chris,
We are aware of the newer version. As soon as other elements can be brought up to date we will upgrade. Many scripts etc. are not compatible with the newer PHP version. We do upgrade the phpBB versions.
Regards,
Anton
I am not sure what they are talking about. They are usually changing from a 4.3.x to 4.3.10, no big changes just bug fixes. If they are changing from 3.x or moving to 5.x yeah there would be problems, but the majority are running 4.2.x or 4.3.x
Our hosting company sent out a warning Monday morning letting everyone know they are upgrading that night because of security concerns.
Make sure you have a backup of your site and a dump of your database to make sure you are safe. There is a fix for phpBB, but is only protects against the worm and not from the php hole.
Here is the email I received this morning:
Quote:Dear Chris Kirkpatrick,
This is to inform you of a Worm going around the Internet that affects installs of the phpBB forum software. If you use this software on your site (installed via Cpanel or manually) please update your forum to the latest version as soon as possible. You must have version 2.0.10 or higher otherwise you face the risk that all your files are deleted.
If you have problems upgrading please contact our support department at: <!-- e --><a href="mailto
upport@addaction.net">support@addaction.net</a><!-- e --> and they will do it for you.
Sincerely,
AddAction Support Staff
It's still "out of order". How long is it gonna take to fix?? I actually never signed up for THC...so is there going to be a lot of stuff lost if the site is corrupted? I know it's only got the couple of unreleased songs from IVL on it, but are there photo archives or anything else cool that you'll miss if it doesn't come back?

no
i'm just wonderin if they'll still send out information about pre-sales and stuff. if what somebody mentioned earlier in this thread, that all of peoples information is stored on a separate database than it hopefully should not affect things like that, being that the e-mails they send out are not connected to the actual site itself.
Hacking the Hip Club seems like a waste of time...whoever did it probably thought they were being a real badass taking out what seems like the Hip's fan club, but little did they know most of us have little respect and even less use for it. I think these days THC ranks just below a good fart in terms of practical usefulness.

Don't worry, I had my card and forgot my fucking password? I forgot you even needed one.
