Also just to touch base on something else...if you are growing enough to be prosecuted in a federal court....you shouldn't be posting any information on any website....because by posting pictures of your 100's of plants and 40K watt industrial grows...you are pretty much taunting the feds to find you. And just becase you browse the internet using tor doesnt mean your safe....they have ip traps that use java and other scripts that will show who you are if you dont have ALL scripts disabled.

We just gotta keep a move on.. people are fuckin assholes. adn have nothing better to do than to hack websites and fuck shit up for no reason at all...
im not too worried.... as long as ur not giving out important info (address... full names.. etc..) or posting pics that have things in the backround that could bring unwanted attention to you or your grow (pictures... pay stubs... newpaper articles with your town/city/state/ mail... etc) .. youve got nothing to worry about.
and yeaa RIU does sumtimes shut down for small periods of time. but this is a big website with alot a traffic.. and they need to do important updates to help make the website better... and upgrade software and make it safe/safer for us. i think they do a pretty good job. ive been to a few other sites... such as grasscity and icmag... and (no disrespect to them) theres a reason why i always come back to RIU.. the people on here are great and very friendly... its one of the most up-to-date systems running at the moment. (although i do have 1 complaint/suggestion.. PLEASEE.... WHEN I UPLOAD 10-20+ PICS.....PLEASE CREATE A WAY SO THAT I CAN SELECT ALL OF THEM AND MAKE THEM FULL SIZE ALL AT ONCE INSTEAD OF HAVING TO SELECT EACH PICTURE INDIVIDUALLY AND DOUBLE CLICK IT. CLICK FULL SIZE. AND OK. THEN MOVE ON TO THE NEXT PIC. IT WOULD MAKE ME AND PLENTY OF OTHER PEOPLE VERY HAPPY!! AND WOULD SAVE ME LOTS OF TIME! SOMETIMES I UPLOAD A TOTAL 50-75 PICS EVERY TIME I UPDATE... AND IT BECOMES SUCH A LONG/TEDIOUS/TIME CONSUMING PROCESS. THANK YOU =D )
RIU is The Best forum site at the moment. and i will continue to stay on here and continue to post pictures of my beautiful plants on here until it gets shut down... jsut be careful and wary of what you post as far as pics and info etc.. and you will be able to enjoy using this great site and have nothing to worry about.... keep up the great work RIU. you have MANY MANY loyal people here. me being one of them... thanks for such a quick response and keeping us all up to date. you should put a link to this thread on the homepage so that other people can see this.

and proof we arent the only ones...heres a post on the vbulletin forums about it happening elsewhere.

NYC transit forums hacked

another forum from like a week ago this happened to
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/archive/t-1441060.html
The fact that this has been happening for a few days shows that vB needs to step there game up with security updates. The first time this happened they should have been providing forum security updates to all of its customers. Not say that they didn't...but considering our website got hacked days after this started...and HOPING that the staff of rollitup did an update if anything was available (seems as much as the site goes down they update alot) i doubt vB caught on quick enough.

listen, to the mods of riu , i hope you have watched iron man (the original of course ) when tony first takes the suit out to gomera and kills the10 rings . on his way back he is intercepted by f22s, and one goes down. after his friend figures out it was him he asks what to tell the press. and eventually he tells them it was a test flight gone wrong, governments do it to there people , parents do it to there kids, i just hate that Riu is doing it too . 
ehh . al shut up now .

Who got the data????????????????????
What is rollitup lying about? The forum software they use has been known to have security issues....just like EVERY OTHER forum software you can buy. Everything on the internet with a database uses some form of mysql...so its not the owners of rollitup's fault. If it had ONLY happened to us...then yeah that would be a bit weird....but many forums that were vulnerable and have NOTHING to do with growing pot were also hit. No one specifially targeted us for any reason other then the forum software we use and the fact that we have good traffic and probably rank very well within google. We were easy to find...so we were hacked. I'm in NO way affiliated with RIU by the way...i just sit in front of the computer for 12 hours a day and read alot.

I agree whole heartedly with everything you've just said. I am of course unsettled atm, but hopefully this site will be stronger since it hasn't been killed yet?!! - STELTHY
I'm presenting another point of view that you don't seem to agree with. Not tryin to spread anything.
But in all reality you have no idea what info they may or may not have taken and saying otherwise is BS.

Disaster recovery is tedious and time consuming.
Backing up data is likewise tedious and time consuming.
The site responded to the attack as soon as possible.
Some data was lost. Shit happens.
Anyone lashing out at RIU for this attack should consider how much of their own money they spend to support this site and then shut the fuck up.
You want to blame someone? Blame the hacker.
The loser in a dirty bathrobe, in his mom's basement. Picture a V For Vendetta movie poster on the wall and a Star Wars action figure collection.
These unemployable clowns imagine themselves as heroes. In reality, they are rat bastards of the higest order.

I'm a bit confused. Are you guys running a cracked version of vB or what? In my 10+ years of administrating and posting on vb forums I have seen a small handful of successful "hacks," this software is pretty airtight for somebody pushing a religious website that looks like it was made on geocities in 1996....just saying...
are we safe here? Is our data safe?
