Dustin Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-10714192 Luckily my idea of getting the hell away from vBulletin forum software saved us a potential threat. vBulletin is having a MASSIVE problem right now, with a horrendous flaw discovered in the software that allows hackers to take almost all users' information. Thankfully, we now use IP.Board, and don't have to worry about that. So to all the IP.Board haters on here who don't like the shift to better forum software, you better be thankful now! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwik-silva Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 I was actually going to post this earlier And you're being a tad harsh, it's only one specific version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Posted July 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 I don't think it's harsh when saying vBulletin has a real mess on their hands. Thousands of people own a vBulletin license for v3.8.6. It's the most popular version (3.8 ) out of all of their software. Which means millions of people use a vBulletin forum daily. All their data is at risk. PF was on 3.7, next step up was 3.8, but instead of going to 3.8 or even 4.0, we chose IP.Board, therefore saving humanity from the evils of the world. OK maybe that last sentence was an exaggeration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott! Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Well I'm glad the Inception Theories forum is using the latest vBulletin software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paint the sky grey Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 that really sucks. but i already noticed like a half year ago that there must've been something going on since my virus protection almost every day showed me up a new virus warning on these boards in the end. i'm so glad that we didn't get involved in this at all.
