Templates For All HACKED!
Well the other day I got online and went to check on the forums for my website. When I got there I noticed a message saying, “skull_crasher was here…” on every index.html and index.php file.
Today I got most of it fixed. I did have to rebuild my forums. That was a pain. I think the attack was through my forum. If so, it was my fault. I was too lazy to update my forum when someone mentioned somehting about a security hole.

Found the problem in my case…It was an old ikonboard installation that I had forgotten about and left unpatched. Apparently there is a vulnerability that can cause the hacker to create a backdoor.
Solution:
1. Removed Ikonboard (or upgrade)
2. Restored system from a known good backup.
3. Patch all software in the future and read all server logs (error.log and system.log)
