nice hackers? they probably did get the databases and have been using them to spam people and who knows what else.

Wow. Broker outpost cracks me up. It's still got people saying: "Great Borrower, SISA 640 95% LTV Good value...needs a 6.5% RATE HELP!"

I got one placement through there when an Argent rep didn't call me back (they called her No Call Hall).

Interesting...

I was using Broker Outpost just before I started blogging on Active Rain. Every now and then I'll get a lead from someone who says they found me through Broker Outpost.

I sure would have hated to have logged on!

Trace, just to clarify, lenderama was not hacked. The message was on the Broker Outpost forum.

So they also got brokeroutpost.com but they didn't do damage over there, clearly they are not smart hackers. :) Where else did they hit, we should post a list.....

If you google vezir.04 you can see dozens / hundreds of hacked sites..... damn kids!

No way! Well the truth is they could have done major damage but they were nice enough to just leave a message.....seriously. I'm sure you have backups, but if they wanted to, they could have deleted the db as well, probably..... You should post on the steps you are taking / tweaks you are making to increase security... that would be an informative post.... if you google securing wp or the like there are lots of things you can do.

I consider things like this a gift, a healthy wakeup call... somebody could have gained access and then remained silent, simply extracting user data or the like... also, check all your templates to make sure there aren't hidding links or the like that have been added...

Kinda creepy seeing that message this morning on BO.

I have a yahoo email with that same p/w. Changed it right away.
