Some of you may have noticed some hacking of Admin Mod recently, with crazy people doing things like saying "Ass Butt Bitch Ass" in green letters on the screen. This is due to a bug in the way that admins are authenticated. However, help is at hand - if you run Admin Mod then this is how to fix the bug:The BEST solution is to use WONID's only in your server.cfg. By using WONID's you will remove the method of attack that is being used. If you still wish to protect your nickname put it BELOW your WONID with the access level 16384. This will reserve your name but you will gain Admin Mod priveleges through your WONID.Turn off reserved name status (subtract 16384 from the access level) and ONLY use admin_password to enter your password ONCE you have entered your server. This method will not reserve your nickname but it will stop the attack.
