You could try to see if you can cut off FTP sessions, get the logs, change your password. In order.

Yeah. Move it.
First thing is to change your FTP password and if this hacker is using admin accounts change the passes on the accounts.

Sorry i didn't know where to post this.
I already changed all my passwords, but a friend told me that he saw in a forum that a self-called U3 Team developed a code, with that code they register in your forums and obtain acces to your admin acounts, he also told me that in that forum were a code that you had to change in order to prevent hacking to your forums, is that true?

ADDED: I didn´t change my ubb code with what was in that forum because i hadn't my ubb forum in that time

moving to new members

you should upgrade your forums to the latest version to prevent all known hacks that might be stealing your passwords.

specify forum link, and/or version, perhaps even the host info, if commercial. Change your user password, temporarily disable all other admins, in other words, make them regular members.

if there is a meber that has control of the control panel then he could delete some stuff, but a htaccess in your members dir related to cp.cgi
[code]
make a file named .htacess
AuthUserFile /usr/home/v1/*******/html/Members/.htpasswd
AuthName "Password Protected:"
AuthType Basic

require valid-user


(/usr/home/v1/*******/html/Members/) is your path so change it to your path etc you can see it in your cp

make also a file called .htpasswd

in that file u must place encryped login example
user:12349OOPdNRK7w
(user that the user login name)
(12349OOPdNRK7w this is the encrypted password)
if u dont know how to make an encryped pass go to
h**p://www.i01.de/webmaste3.htm
there u can make a encrypted pass u can add more users to it, upload it in asci

works foolproof every time when u go to the cp a htaccess windows pops up there u have to put the username and the unecrypted password
