Zero day exploit closes forum

[Whois-Search]

Well that was a good reason to close the forum:

I hope there is a patch for Acorn

Shell exploits can't get out of the users permissions though unless someone is stupid enough to give their forum account root privileges... nobody would be that incompetent

Nominet: hold my beer

I hope there is a patch for Acorn

Acorn moved away from vbulletin a while ago, It won't be affected.

If you're reading this nominet it's a 5 minute fix yet you're still down. I'm available for hire if you can't find a cyber-tech company (I mean it's not as if you throw all *our* money at any is it?)

I don't know what VB version the nominet forum used ( as im not a member ) but there was a patch released yesterday :

Yeah but it's so tricky to apply patches and takes a lot of time... they really need to raise prices to be able to afford someone.

UK domain prices now £10 per year to cover the costs.
