I really don’t know why attack will be coming to this forum, I’m just happy nothing went wrong, I know the forum is safe and okay always in your hands.
It actually takes smart individual to handle this forum as an admin.
The attack is not specifically targeting the forum. It's a general vulnerability in PHP itself. Any site running on it could be affected, not just this forum. Going offline was a precaution to put things on check.
Regardless, the forum admin did well to swing into action quickly and ensure everything is fine. Thank God there was no any successful attack to have access to sensitive data. I wasn't well aware of the situation until night but glad we are back and stronger.
