Account hacked on my forum and top poster deleted ... what can I do ?
-
Hi,
Yesterday a user successfully got my account on my forum, and logged in and deleted the top posters and his messages. (including a topic with +10 000 messages ...)
Sadly the last backup is more than 1 month old, so I can't use it ... (now I know I should have a real backup every day at least -_-)
I would like to take some data from that save and put it back on the last version, what would you propose?
What can I put back without breaking anything ?

Just curious, how did an user got your account?

that's the big question, I supposed he got my password by bruteforce, but even that is weird

@ffmad I'm new to NodeBB and I just want to make sure that is secure.

Be sure to set a limit of connection try per hour. Set a good password by default. Make people change their password.
You can do all that with NodeBB.
What happenned was my fault ...
