Website back online
Hey there,
as you might have noticed we had a security breach on our website yesterday. We're still evaluating how it could happen and how it did happen exactly, but for now the website is back online with a backup from yesterday afternoon - and we are hoping that it won't happen again.
To be bluntly honest, it's not a quiet big achievment to attack a website that is using a fairly old version of an open source CMS, we know it's vulnerable but we don't have the capacities to change that situation right now. For the sake of keeping this great community alive, please don't try to hack us as a proof of concept, we know it might be possible for a skilled hacker (or with the right exploit), just contact us and we'll try our best to fix the vulnerabilites.
Furthermore I want to announce that we're looking for a new website coder/programmer, because as you might have noticed m0ver is quite busy lately and doesn't have much more time left to spend for XJ. The new design isn't making much progress (should be released for everyone by now) and we'd simply need a full-time coder (or as close as it gets to that) to take care of the whole website (updating e107 on a regular base, implementing the new design, fixing and finishing various other scripts). If you want and think you could help us, and fit to the following profile, please message me on a platform of your choice (PM, IRC, Steam):
You have....
- experience in handling PHP/SQL and programming various dynamic scripts
- knowledge about the e107 CMS
- worked on bigger websites before
- some spare time left to spend for XJ and are active,flexible and would like to work in the XJ admin team
I'm looking forward to see your applications.
