spam Attack on our forum, using bbpress

[mirzepapa]

Hi,

hope this is not too much OT, but i am really desperate, for some A… floated our music schools website forum with 17.000 entries, running on bbpress alongside with buddypress. It is not only crap and makes it almost impossible for real users to find one of the few real-human-posts, it is spooky that someone take over the forum. I was trying to delete all those posts, but this leads to a server 500 mistake.

I have de- an reactivated bbpress, un- and reinstalled it, but the messages are still there. Is there any way to get rid of this annoying stuff? I would love to keep forum and group functionality, but with this entries in the forum our site got incredibly slow. Can be found at http://www.musikzentrale.net/musikerservice/forum/musikersuche/band-sucht-musiker/

Some infos about technical environment:
– WP and all Plugins running on there latest Version, 512 MB Ram
– all other features and plugins work as they are supposed to
– protected by siteguarding, askimet, aiowps
– up to today, we hardly ever got spam

Thanks for your kind assistance.
Best regards, Sebastian.

Hi Sebastian!

It would be best to contact bbPress support about this.

And follow along with these steps, http://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress, to secure your WordPress site from malware.

Cheers!
