"The site is currently down for maintenance. KIXEYE has nothing to do with the site being down and it will be back up."

wtf, is this from scratch or what?? I thought they didn't have backups

The forum (kongregatehack.com) will be back in a few days, or at least that's when I plan to have it back up.

As for backups, I did make a backup before shutting down the site. Even if I didn't, I can open it again temporarily to make a backup or just do it directly from the database.

As some of you already know the site was closed because a hacker found a vulnerability and exploited it. I wasn't been able to pinpoint the vulnerability, which is why I closed the site. As for the hacker's identity, all I know is the username (botsbotsbots), which I late discovered was used to attempt selling hacks in the hack database, and a couple of the IP addresses the hacker used to access the website. I assume he used a proxy, however even if he didn't it doesn't help much knowing he resides in Canada.

I've bought a new domain and plan to move the forum there. You'll know when I'm done, as kongregatehack.com will redirect to the new domain.


As some of you have noticed I have been somewhat absent recently. I would love to use the excuse "midterms are coming up", however that has little to do with my absence. I skimmed through the newest posts almost every day and I posted once in a while. But as the founder and administrator of the website I have a responsibility to keep improving it, not just maintain it. Due to this, and my lack of web development skills, I've recently considered taking a step back and letting someone else take the wheel. Not completely backing out, since my interest in hacking hasn't completely diminished.

The dumbass things bots will do...
