Thanks, I will look into these 4 points. I did find some entries in the ftp log and was thinking maybe they found the db name and login info via this. Here are some entries I found:

Part of FTP log from 10/29/04:
15:41:34 62.251.26.232 [63]USER anonymous 331 0
15:41:34 62.251.26.232 [63]PASS Pgpuser@home.com 530 1326

Part of FTP log from 10/30/04:
14:02:00 80.143.250.231 [64]USER anonymous 331 0
14:02:00 80.143.250.231 [64]PASS Jgpuser@home.com 530 1326

I don't know who this is. There's no reason why anyone other myself would ftp into the site, so maybe this person had something to do with it.

The forum is already secure as it can be, espically as the largesthacking site in Russia uses it and they all continully try to hack andand do let me know instaentky if any security holes exsist, which Ithen usually patch within 12 hours.

The only way I can see this can happen is:-
  1. Someone has found your admin username and password
  2. Someone has got into your MS SQL Server database
  3. You have given a secound user admin privileges
  4. A problem with your MS SQL Server
Then off course more advanced hackers may have used packet sniffingsoftware to get your MS SQL Server username and password or your adminusername and password. But unless you use SSL space to host your forum,this will always be a hole in your security.

All the tables are empty! I have a backup from yesterday, so not the end of the world, but this sucks. I have the latest webwiz patch, sql server sp3. Any ideas on how to make it more secure?]]> Sat, 30 Oct 2004 12:34:03 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/sql-server-deleted_topic12366_post68552.html#68552
