NewTorrents.info forums hacked
This wasn’t a good morning for me. After the usual procedure of reading through new replies at Releaselog and uploading some new torrents to NewTorrents’ homepage, I wanted to visit our forum. I was pretty confused when I saw all categories empty, with 0 threads and 0 replies. There was only one announcement, which maked it all clear: the board was hacked by some bunch of script kiddies hidden under the name TeamElite. These fucking retards used one of the latest 0day exploits which were released without my attention and were already used to deface hundreds of boards.
The hacker, using nick Ninja, also logged in under my nickname and wrote some comments, I already deleted this crap and chaneged some passwords, but all threads are still gone – two years of discussion lost. I’m trying to reach the server admin now, which should have some backups, at least I hope he is so dutiful to have them. I’ve closed the board for public, because I need to upgrade it to prevent another hack. The idea of building whole forum from a scratch is scaring me. I’ll keep you up to date…

well i am one of the user who used to get a virus when i used to join the forum is that something to do with it ? anyway i hope u have backup, cause starting from 0 after 2 years its not fucking easy…
i am not sure about the virus, i haven’t noticed anything, but i will rather upload fresh files to be sure…
well i got 4 virus this week but the week before i didnt get any virus so i dont know… i say the hacker was trieng to hack the forum 1 week ago.
Keep up the good work Martin, I know you are working hard to bring the board back. Thanks you… Cheers!!
Sad news, but that’ll teach you, Martin, to have a DB copy made every day or two…
M@ster that sux – just know that all your tireless work for the community is appreciated!
Oh hell, it would take so much time to get all the useful (and useless, lol) things back on there, so lets hope you can get a backup from that serveradmin…
And if not then I’m sure all the regulars from the forum will help us fill it up again in no-time!
Sorry that happened. Hacking makes NO sense to me at all.
Don’t use the word “hacked”, that will only make the morons happy.
Trying to play cool by using ready-made scripts to shit stuff up? Wonder if they would be proud if they shat their pants…
yeah, this has nothing in commmon with “hacking”, every noob can run this script… and about making backups – i was told there’s daily backup system on the server so I don’t need to make backups manually – but now, when there are problems, i don’t see any backups on the server, so we must wait what does server admin say…
Damn those little kids and their downloaded “hacking skillz”.
Alot of usefull information aswell and countless hours of work are now seemingly lost because of some immature punks that know how to google for exploits.
It’s not hacking, and I know that Karma will bite them all in the ass.
There’s no point in crying over it, it’s exactly what they’d wants, just deal. We’re all still around
Retarded losers who have too much free time in their hands that’s all I can say for the people who “Hacked” the forum. Newtorrents is always the best, I hope you have the backups Martin.
If there arn’t any backups thats a lot of useful information lost, although i didnt post a great deal i did check the forums daily and read through things if i had a problem or fancied learning somthing.
Hahahaha.. your a bunch of fucking pricks.. say bye to your forum again very soon master you asshole.
NiNjA get a life u fukn newb. I think i hear ur momma calling

Ninja: Learn to spell.
There’s nothing worse that a script kid with bad grammar.
Ninja, your grammar really sucks and I suggest you go and do grade 5 over again becuase you obviously didn’t meet the requirements.
hmmm… TeamElite… i’ve heard about them… didn’t they “hack” the YnHUB (DC++ Hub-software) forums some time ago?…
Everyone chill. Security and backups are a daily first task. Sorry you were hit and inconvienced – I am fine with the site now and hope to keep coming back – thanks for keeping the site up and going.
well i’m sorry guys it isnt just toreents that team elite mess about with.
the dc community has had problems for a cpl of yrs now and are at present taking down what hub lists they can due to not being able to run there fake hubs on them without getting kicked off.
so sad to see a good community go this way.
Sorry to hear u have morons to deal with. Its a great site and they just wish they could run a site as well as this. Plain Stupid Jealous Kids.
Seems like http://www.elitehackers.info/ is gone either… Happy hacking to you all!
In two whole years you did not make a single backup?! That’s quite sad…
more info about the hacker is at the forum.
and Count Griffith, I really haven’t made one backup. I got daily backups of main website, but as you could notice, this forum runs of absolutely different server and there were some problems which caused I was unable to make backups of mysql, of course i got the files. Before these problems appeared, I was making backups also few times a week. But it’s all back now so there’s no need to cry over the lost battle…
I think there’s someone who needs to get laid really bad.
damn fucking idiot that ninja, i know him too, his name is Carl and he is from UK,he told us at school that he hacked newtorrents.info but noone gave a shit on his words.
