[Forum Hacked] Delete your browser cookies and cache memories

edited August 2016 in Tools & Technology
Guys, as you know forum was hacked yesterday using javascript. Some script collects your cookie information which can become risky...just for safety, kindly delete your cookies for past one month or week. You can do that via history tab on your browser. Do this on all devices through which you are accessing your accounts. Avoid quoting comments which are troll in nature. This is for your cyber safety. If possible, run a virus scan in your machines. There is no need to panic but safety first always. Thanks

  • Some tips will be shared by @pizza soon
  • Okay here's what u need to do. For all those who have visited the pages on which there are comments by "panjwan" "Sweetdream" and " imandarchor".

    1. Clear everything from your browser.
    2. Logout from forum. It will expire the php session id.
    3. Close and reopen your browser and then login in.

    Clear all sensitive information from your inbox.
    If possible, make a standby profile and use it till forum assures that they have full control over their website.
  • For safety change all passwords of mails and social media accoutns. Log out from them too.
