Site integrity incident, 2026-11-13

[Malcolmo]

It's a good thing that whatever it was had such an immediately obvious sign something was going on. Could have been a lot worse.

 

[CriticalFailure]

Thanks for your work and the quick fix.

 

[LosttDestiny]

Thank you for your work

 

[Unsettling- A.I.R]

Glad it was caught quickly, and nothing important was touched. Though seriously, what was up with today?

Anyhow, thank you for your hard work!

Does QQ run on PHP like AO3? Thought we used Xenoforo

We do, Alie stated in the first in this thread even.

As someone else said, it just seems too coincidental with all the other sites and various businesses halting progress, going offline, having troubles, and of course AO3 the other week.

 

[CosmicBigfoot]

Thank you for all that you do @alethiophile and staff! Really appreciate you <3

Cambrian watching this site go down during No-Fic-November must've been like a truck driver hearing a warehouse got molotov'd while driving to his next job.

 

[IoS]

Thank you for the quick Fix

 

[Newb to the game]

I love you guys so much for all you do

 

[Enjou]

Thanks guys. Seems like hackers have been super active lately. The sites for where I work had intrusions recently as well. It's been a huge pain.

 

[Seif ELBagoury]

Thank you staff! I though it was another ao3 situation. Phew…

 

[Vas7]

Was scared we were having second ao3 situation over here, good job with solving it.

 

[Guardian Box]

What are the odds of ever identifying the culprit?

 

[MercuryLord]

First ao3 and now nearly QQ, thank God you guys caught this.

We use Xenforo as the software. Xenforo is built on PHP.

Thank you @alethiophile and @xon.

 

[Streggae]

Almost had a damn heart attack I thought the bastard who did in AO3 caught another body.

 

[Bub3loka]

Good job catching that so quickly. Always appreciate your work

 

[beiyu]

Thanks for the work , Danbooru was also in the crossfire until recently

 

[Deathwings]

What the goddamned fuck do these people even have against fanfiction ?

Thank you staff for all your hard work and thanks for getting the site back up as quickly as possible

 

[Terralord19901]

[Demigod Patronus]

Thanks for all the hard work, staff.

And like it has been said in the thread already, every Tom, Dick, and Harry can be a hacker nowadays using AI. Just tough times ahead.

I think AO3 runs on Ruby on Rails, I don't remember it being down during the whole PHP thing.

 

[FTR2017]

Thank you for your hard work, and I am glad to hear that nothing valuable was exploited by the chucklefuck responsible for this attack.
