hi there

The whole IT world is having a terrible days this week.

We can read from news that many big web site blackout on tuesday
https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-57413224

And our forum being hacked since 6/june/2021
After many hours of investigation and we found out and PROVED that some server files is being removed.

After rang up and discussed with server company, they said
- we are not the only one
- there are heaps of customer inside the same data centre and also outside the world is having the same php hacking issue.
- they auto delete our file with particular rules every 1-2 mins.

Server company is still investigating the root cause and will update us when it's resolved.

At the mean time, I have implemented a temporary hot fix in order to make sure the forum is up and running stable 95%

if you experience abnormal behaviour, wait 30-60 seconds and try again.

Got data centre reply as below
We appreciate your patience while we investigated the issue that was causing issues with missing files on your server.

We were able to confirm that this was NOT due to a server or website compromise of any kind, but rather was due to errors within a recent software patch on your server parent. We have pushed the fix to this patch to your server, and any files that were previously affected will no longer be removed.
