I was browsing my board earlier and when I tried to post I noticed it was saying my password was incorrect. After further investigation I learned that all my info that would make me an Admin was erased. So within the CGI directory under my member number it had nothing. It seems that some of it happened to my other members as well.

I also checked one of my forums and all the posts were deleted. Now I'm confused if someone hacked my board or my FTP account. I checked my Admin log and it only showed me, no one else.

Well, the point now is that there is NO Admin that I'm aware of. I cann't log into CP, because I apparently don't exist anymore.

Any suggestions?

I'm trying to solve this problem without having to redo my board, because it seems like that's the only way to fix it.

By the way my board address is: http://www.uhm-online.com/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi

hi FrighT MasteR,

i see in your board is the [img ] tag allow. this tag can be used to steal your cookies and use them to delete data.
i think this filter is usefull to reduce the risk
[code][/code]do you have a backup of your board? restore your profile from this backup and change your PWD. if there is no backup, register a new user and set it via FTP to an admin.
check periodical how many users are an admins in your board (search in the memberpath for "admin&" or search them via the CP).
protect the members path via htaccess and store the file cp.html in a different directory.

Upload your Admin5.cgi, Chmod to 777 and try get in then. Change settings and register your account and make yourself admin.
