honistly I think you hacked the forum not me
and no im not paying $100
$20 maybe as I do like to learn loosely how things are done
not to the technical side of reproducing it
but just to have an idea of where the risks are
1. You're seriously going to give MORE money to the asshole that supposedly scammed you?
2. He didn't "hack the forum" - Your account was likely compromised. Had they hacked the forum itself, I'm sure they'd have found better use of this access than to go after a newb member for $270.
3. ...I got nothing other than to say if you do this, you're an idiot, and I won't feel the least bit of sympathy when they screw you over a second time.
I said it would be worth $20 to me
didn't say I would trust him enough to actually pay it
and I don't mean hacked the hole forum
I mean ran a brute force to get one users account ID/pass
I have seen it before
they setup a script to try and collect users login/pass
I had a lot of trouble with people doing it on my site a year ago
WHMCS isn't setup to block such an attack
I dono about the forum as it's a dif system
but we had to make some changes to our site to block it
