if its warez-porn.com your talking about. take your site off from that hosting right now, and get your own server or something dont be on shared hosting im sure he got in by hacking some other site on that server.

warez-porn.com has address 74.55.52.252
Found 609 websites with the IP 74.55.52.252

yea i did it really i can't afford at this type dedicate hosting but i have shifted from that hosting

Any more thing that i can do inorder to secure my site a previous database is out in the market it's ok i have though it's ok what a person can do with a database with posts and members even if anyone uses that database he has to carry on much things

which will be a problem for him and that site owner

Can any one tell me how this can be stopped permanently

MEANING THIS WILL HAPPEN NEVER AGAIN , any thing that might just stop this happening

If this happens continously then it's a big problem for any site to continue
Any security holes or anything that can be provided

And where does it say that post count is a measure of a person's reliability or legitimacy?

A spammer could make a thousand posts in a day - does he become a good member?

This member's been here since October 2008
Post count does not mean $hit!

In any case - My advice:
Secure your passwords, database, access, etc
Move to a better host. There are many of them out there that you can get a VPS off for the price of a shared hosting account (though a low-end VPS).

Ignore this guy. He stole your database. What's he gonna do now? Release it to the public? Let him. Yours is an ever growing forum.

EDIT: Ohk.. He might release the members' IP addresses and emails. You should probably email your members explaining the situation to them. Meanwhile, also ban this 'hacker'

hehehe no i just added the same message which is in vbulletin.org and vbteam.info

I have been a great member in vbteam.info username Ab.Nath and vbulletin.org as I am hiding this else i can be in trouble

hahaha i just copied it thus i did not see about that hahaha :D

i have send emails to people telling that our database have been hacked and requesting them to change their passwords

Edit : - Meanwhile you suggested me of VPS , i pay $6.99 for my 80 GB bandwidth and 10 Gb space
Can you suggest me a place which is safe and where my database is secure

Thanks Everyone really it is hard in here to do

Yes , even if the ip's and email address are released

Even if you were to get a VPS/Dedi, that still won't make you safe if your site is not secure. Do you even know how this happened? Also, if you go VPS/Dedi and need help securing it, let me know.
