This thread is for discussing the incident/downtime. Please take general complaints to the appropriate thread, they will not get any responses here.
The site is back online, and we expect there to be no further downtime as a result of this incident. We apologise for how long the downtime was, and we are glad to be back!
A full explanation is written below, but there is a tl;dr at the end for those who are not interested in the details.
No. 82856
What happened?
On Thursday, 29th of August at around 9 pm UTC, someone managed to exploit a vulnerability in the site's code which allowed them to trick the site software into deleting images. We realised what was happening within an hour of the incident and shut down the server to prevent any further damage. Unfortunately by the time we had shut down the server, they had already deleted all of the images on /ot/. We believe they wrote a script to automate this behaviour which is why they were able to do it so quickly.
The only thing that was affected was the images in /ot/. No user data has been compromised, and there has been no impact to user privacy.
Who did this?
We have not been able to find anyone claiming responsibility for the attack online (but please let us know if you have!), although we believe it may have been someone without any history with the site. We received an email from someone trying to ransom money in exchange for details about a vulnerability, but it's unclear whether they were the attacker or an opportunist trying to take advantage of the situation. They have made no further contact.
Why did the site have to be taken down?
We had to bring the site down in order to protect it from further damage, i.e. other boards being wiped. Additionally, shutting down the server immediately increased the chances that we could recover the deleted files if we needed to.
Why are the images still missing?
Unfortunately, all of the image backups going back to 2019 were corrupt and very little could be recovered from them. We made the mistake of assuming that the backup script that had been used all that time had been functioning correctly, and evidently, it had not.
As a result, we’ve had to resort to other methods to try and recover the images. This is an ongoing process, and we are going to keep an updated count stickied in /ot/ to be transparent about how that is going. At the time of writing this, we’ve recovered just over 10% of the images and about 47% of thumbnails.
Some good news is that we have been able to recover a large number of the images through forensic data recovery. Unfortunately, the original image names/locations have been lost and as a result, we have no easy way to tie them back to the posts they belong to. We have a script that is processing every image and trying to link them to their posts based on the metadata we’ve stored about the image, but it is a very slow process.
Additionally, we’ve written a script that is attempting to recover the images from the Wayback Machine via its API. Unfortunately, that also runs quite slowly due to rate limits imposed by the Internet Archive.
Why did it take so long to fix?
There were several reasons:
- We were not willing to bring the site back online until we were sure that it was safe to do so
- We could not turn the server on at all until we had created a complete copy of the disk and transferred it to one of the admin’s local machines for data recovery. Given that the server disk is multiple TB in size, it took 5 days to make and then transfer the image
- Our hosting provider was utterly worthless throughout all of this, which delayed us starting the process of transferring the disk image. They first refused to assist us in getting a local data recovery specialist to deal with it (which would have saved us the 5 day transfer) and then took a very long time to set up the rescue image we needed to make the transfer itself
- Only one of the admins had the experience necessary to work on this issue, and she had to fit this around her day job (unfortunately she does not live in her mother’s basement like null)
What have we done to stop this from happening again?
First of all, we’ve purchased a robust cloud-based backup system that is independent of our hosting, which we have already tested to our satisfaction. No matter what goes wrong in the future, the site will be safe and restoring lost data will be much easier/faster. We didn’t do this previously as it’s quite expensive, but given the trouble we’ve had with this incident, we have decided to eat the cost.
We have also combed through the site code and patched anything that could potentially be exploited. We are being intentionally vague on the details as we don’t want to give away information to people who may use it against other sites running the same board software. We have also implemented additional security features that should prevent anything similar from happening in the future, even if we haven’t plugged every hole.
Tl;dr - The site was attacked, and all the images on /ot/ were deleted. Our backups were not viable, so we are slowly working to restore the images through other means. We have improved the security of the site in response to the issue, and invested in a good backup solution to better protect the site in future

As stated in our original post, we are still recovering images through several methods. We won't be able to get every single image back, but we will get back a lot more as our scripts work through it. If you have archives of images you want to contribute, please email us at
admin@lolcow.farm! If you have one or two, you can report a post that is missing an image with an imgur url (or something similar) as the reason and give us the image that way.
Thank you everyone for the kind comments and for your patience while we work on this ♥ And thank you to anyone who is able to contribute to the images being restored!

>>83115>i just wonder why they'd want to be the administrator of a website if they're not going to do their job, don't want to update the site,LC uses a modified version of tinyboard. It's not case of not wanting to update the software. It's that updating the software would require using new software and switching from image board software to another is not that simple. This site archives ten years worth of content. Implementing new software and converting 10 years of old threads to the new software is going to take a lot of time and effort. Any new site software also needs to be carefully chosen and implemented due to the previous backlash at attempts to move the site to Lynxchan.
>>83115>i dont know what spaghetti code isIn this context spaghetti code is being used to describe a poorly maintained code base that has been altered by numerous people over the course of a decade. Previous admins probably didn't leave notes of fixes or changes that were made over the years so in order to understand what the site software is doing and why, cerbim probably has to spend time reverse engineering the code to understand it.

CC deletes posts that break the rules and remove the whole convo so the thread isn't all fucked up and someone else comes back 8 hours later to reignite the infight but I saw the same posts being reposted a dozen times and some of the anons kept acting obtuse so they could keep making accusations. Mod re-explained the rules more than once but even then what happened to lurking? Also, moderation was FAST.
I hope it was just 3 extremely bored NEETs because the behavior in all the bunkers on different sites really soured me on how the userbase has changed. The threads read like middle school playgrounds. Petulant and retarded.

>>83170I've been on there when mods aren't active for longer timespans and /b/ was completely dominated by threads like these, so there's precedent. There are many interesting threads there that get buried because all the newfags think it's a
femcel board and can't imagine anything more interesting to talk about than how to find a based doomer zoomer femboy boyfriend or fish for tips on how to get crystal cafe gf. There were so many single-sentence or no-text OPs with a screenshot of a random moidtake, how many of those are really needed? Even lolcow puts these in generals.

triggered my ban either, but none of my posts were deleted so it probably really was some kind of accident or autoban? I did report a moid for openly moidposting but I did not reply to him.

Women aren't your personal army or shield.

>>83321NTA. It's possible for two groups of people to be simultaneously retarded and this is what happened in the CC bunkers.
A few of things I saw
>admitting to ban evasion and then being surprised that they got banned for ban evasion>talking about cows when the rules of CC state no cows or drama>unhinged meta sperging outside of their meta board which is extra fucking retarded because this exact rule exists on LC>being surprised that they got banned for infighting and posting bait when it is explicitly banned in the rules of CC>ignoring the sticky that is literally pinned at the top of the board where the bunker threads wereI took a few bans from the automod, which I agree is shit moderation and a terrible way to run a site. Yet the behaviour of some farmers was absolute newfaggotry. If you choose to post on a website, you need to follow the rules, even if the rules are bad and you don't agree with them. The utter lack of self awareness and emotional intelligence was shocking.

one of them deliver the bug fixes and features we were promised 6 months ago? Why can't just
one of them host a town hall?
>>83364I wasn't talking about 4ch.
>>83365Again, I don't care about $$$. If the admin wants to run the website, then they should be ready to actually
run it. That includes paying for the stuff it needs. There have been countless richfags that offer to donate to pay the pills, there have been kofi links set up, if Cerbmin wanted to monetize this website: they could, really easily. There should have been a backup for this site since the /m/assacre, and it's disappointing to realize that there hasn't been one this whole time since. If an admin can't run the website, then it's time to find a new admin, which has been done plenty of times before.

My point is that it's strange YOU'RE the one that's come up with more ideas to raise money now, with just one post, than the administration of the website itself. Doesn't that seem like a job the site administration should be doing?
>don't you remember how badly it went down when a previous admin tried to set up a patreon and link it obviously?If an administrator can't deal with autists reeeing about change, they aren't cut out for the job. Cerbmin has had to deal with people reeing about Dumbass Shit for 6 months, and he doesn't complain about that, so how would this be any different?
>>83379Trying to WK right now isn't the point. I don't know why you're taking my questions for Cerbmin so personally. Read my posts, do you think any question I raised is that crazy? I think everything I asked actually warrants a response, but I don't really have much hope because I'm thinking Cerbmin is just gonna disappear after this for another few months until the next big coding flaw is revealed and we lose all of /pt/.
>You seem to be sowing seeds of mistrust and doubt for no good reason.I'm not sowing anything. I do doubt the capabilities of the administration on this site. I've doubted them since the handover. It's good to feel some doubt because it protects you.

If you think these questions are shit stirring, or my attempt to demean the admin, or my attempt to "sow seeds of mistrust and doubt" or whatever, you're thinking about it too much.

>>83356unfortunately anon i don't think we will get answers to those questions, at least not for a very long while.
>>83363>>83372anon to be brutally honest with you i think they've just given up. they probably don't see any value or purpose in putting all this effort and money into upgrading the website with how slow it's gotten, the issues we've been having with off-topic boards, a lot of the older users leaving. then on top of that they have to deal with raids, being exposed to cp and extreme gore, probably getting threats from weirdos and i wouldn't be surprised the feds considering i've seen europol bait posts on here, particuarly after cp raids.
i miss town halls too but i doubt it would go over well with the current state of the site. it would just get flooded with the usual angry posters attacking more reasonable anons and older users, accusations of everyone being a scrote or a tranny if you disagree on something, and more open season fodder for outsiders to come in and stir the pot as well seeing that there are community division issues on full display. in the past we could have more open and transparent discussion about what was going on behind the scenes but now it's unlikely.
and speaking of cash donations, they could set up a bitcoin wallet instead of paypal or zelle or having to do wire transfers. that would also protect the users as well when donating money and it's usually fully anonymous. paypal would likely not allow donations due to the fact that it's an imageboard and zelle is only available in north america and is not anonymous at all as it's linked to your bank account.
No. 83408
>>83398Just to samefag to add to this, when I asked
>Cerbmin, what exact time did you realize the hack was happening, and at that point how long had it been going on?It's because in the first post itt,
>>82856 Cerbmin mentions that it started on 29 August 9PM UTC. There is a post in /meta/'s most recent Complains and Suggestions thread from 29 August at 10PM UTC that asks what's wrong with /ot/ images. So already there's an hour there that we haven't really accounted for. Since the site closed around what, 10:15PM or 10:30PM UTC, could the hacker have really deleted 300 THOUSAND images in an hour? Is that possible? Even with a script that number seems so radically high that I struggle to believe that it really started at 9PM UTC. And then, was it really that anon in /meta/ that figured out something was wrong? Was she the one that alerted moderation and administration, or were you all already aware by that point she made the post? The timeline isn't making sense for me.
>>83403>unfortunately anon i don't think we will get answers to those questions>i think they've just given upUnfortunately, I think you're right. It's a shame because I had high hopes for Cerbmin.

No. 83413
>>83410If the attack started at 9PM, and an anon was able to identify it by 10:03PM UTC, then Cerbmin's "we identified it in an hour!" thing isn't true. Because the site still stayed up for a good 15 or 20 minutes after that anon made the post. I recall there being a response from the Admin as well in that thread, but it looks like they went back and deleted their response before the site came back online. There's still proof in the CC bunker threads though, when someone posted the image, because it was the first time Cerbmin responded to anything in a month or two.
If the attack "probably didn't" happen at 9PM, then why'd Cerbmin just say that it did happen at 9PM? See this is what is confusing me. Why do we have to walk on eggshells around what's happened instead of just really talking about it so we can understand?
No. 83421
>>83418I've been talking to my lawyer, we think we have a case. Will post the class action details later.But no seriously, are my questions really that far out there? Is it really that crazy to want to know the exact timeline of what happened? Cerbmin has responded once in this entire thread, and I think that's gonna be the last we hear from them for a month or two until the next hack when we lose /pt/.
>>83412>The admins always get lost in the drama and personal issues of the userbase instead of focusing on the tech issues which have been a constant theme here for years.This is the recurring theme of lcf. It's gotten to the point where I really don't understand why we are still on this spaghetti code if it causes so many issues, like the loss of 5 years of data and a 2 week long outage. I recall Cerbmin expressing a desire to update the code and the website, even promising us revamps of certain features and a re-haul of catalog, but it's just been radio silence ever since. I knew they were bad at coding, but it's just shocking to me that only one of them knew how to code well enough to fix this mess. So if none of the admins update, if none of the admins communicate, and only one of them can code well enough to fix shit when it hits the fan, what's the point of having 3?

after an anon pointed it out? And then, why did it take even longer to shut the site down? The timeline isn't making sense for me.
>>83428Not quite. What I'm asking is why there is no timeline for what happened. We were down for 12 days, 300k images lost, 5 years of threads down the drain, and Cerbmin wrote less than 900 words about it and then left the site again. I don't think that that's a proper way to do this. Again you can all read this post:

i think it would be in their best interest to at least start the process of looking for more admins because this was kind of a shitshow..i don’t say that to come off mean but it is very, very sad that we suffered a loss this extreme all because only one of our administrators actually has the skills necessary for their job.

As for the technical abilities of admins, Cerbmin already admitting in the first post of this thread that only 1/3rd of the admin team has the knowledge and capability to fix something of this caliber. That's not a good sign. You can brown nose allll you want, but it doesn't change the fact that 1 hacker was able to cause this much problems and delete this much data and the administration doesn't have any real way to remedy the damage. We should have had cloud backups for YEARS at this point, especially after the NuCow fiasco. The fact that we didn't is just negligent on the part of administration.
>>83443Ideally, farmhands should be moderating the boards. When they notice something happening, they should alert admin, and admin should step in and see what the issue is. There is apparently 3 admins, so I don't think contacting admins or talking to them should be an issue. It's the fact that this took only 30 minutes for anons in /ot/ to notice, 45 minutes for anons to complain about it on /meta/, yet it took Cerbmin an hour and a half apparently to stop it. That's why the timeline is so important. Were there ANY farmhands active at that time on /ot/? Were farmhands aware of the situation, but were powerless to stop it? Was Cerbmin aware of it from the very beginning of the attack, but only revealed it an hour and 15 minutes after it began? What happened.

Hey admins, I have html copies of the artist salt threads 1-58 with expanded images as of the 16th of August. I can't guarantee total image archival in these though since the way they load makes it challenging but it should at least have captured most of them. If this is useful to you, how do I send it over? Currently have them on my NAS but have no clue about secure file transfers as I live the dual life of wanting to be anonymous and also being retarded

In total we received around 4000 images from users today, which we’ve now restored. If you’re interested in our progress, we’re updating the total recovered here once per day:
>>>/ot/2159378We’d also like to clarify the situation regarding the admins and their technical experience, as there seems to be some confusion. Two of the admins are fullstack devs, but one mainly works with frontend code and the other has more experience with backend. The backend admin also has the most experience with infrastructure (i.e. servers and databases) as well as data recovery. The issue that led to this incident only needed changes to backend code and server updates, so for that reason, only one of the admins could work on it.

When LC went down I just waited for it to come back, checking every other day or so. I did comment at that one place that you go to check site server status, I forget the name of the site but an anon wrote a poem about the farm there and it was honestly so heartfelt i almost shed a tear, other than that, I lurked KF for a day or two, being as Tuna is also documented over there but it wasn't the same.
So, being so out the general Chan board loop, I only just found out about CC so went over, had a lurk. Looks to me like they actually have a farmer bias and I hate to be that tinfoiler but maybe that's why some of you copped random perma bans over there. That's absolutely not on of course, takes the piss. Just my tinfoil, though, biased AF mods.
Also topkek at the onion backup comment in here. That's gold.

>>83572>glad the de/g/ens didn't start scatposting againIt's a cuck fetish board. I doubt that would've changed anything.
>>83626>>83630If you got banned for no reason you should've used a VPN. It took them a while to appear, but a mod posted in the bunker to say that if you get a ban with no reason stated, you should just evade because that's either the autoban filter at work or an old ban on a VPN IP. That's what I did and still do, so I didn't really have an issue in the CC bunker. I seriously doubt the mods personally decided to permaban you for complimenting their site theme, kek.
But that doesn't mean that they aren't too ban-happy other times, I've experienced unfair bans/deletions from them in the past. I just find it ironic that anons that are unable to contain their autism call CC mods trannies because they got a ban (unfairly or not), when CC mods are probably just as paranoid about users being male.
>>83631I refuse to believe this isn't actually just the admin moid samefagging (most of them anyway). It's actually quite disgusting. Thank fuck I never visited that IB. The only alternative bunker I did visit was that Japanese chat website with the cat characters.

>>83643CC is splinter of LC and has hosted LC bunkers for years. I'm not sure where the idea that they hate LC comes from. The mods told farmers to follow the rules or they would be banned, which is expected. Anyone posting on LC that doesn't follow the rules also get banned.
>farmers migrated to a dead website no one usesjunkochan is part of the webring. This is a group of altchans that were once boards on 8ch before the site was shut down after the Chirstchurch shooting. The webring lists sites by activity which would have made the bunker threads very noticeable to moids.

>>83624>>83623>>83618Sometimes I'm embarrassed by the tumblr-tier moralfagging put on display. If we want to escalate the purity tests, then we can go back to lolcor being an offshoot of 4chan founded by a moid.
The pickmes praising the junkuchan Admin for doing the bare minimum for sheltering are embarrassing but so are you for making the nonas who used junkuchan look like they're all clueless NLOGs who laid with the devil.
Have you considered that CC was not a good shelter for a lot of posters who wanted a more lax setting and faster posting? I didn't mind CC but I hated its long posting cooldown, also it's obvious to see how its rules don't gel with a lot of farmers. So instead of being happy we had options you are chastitizing them while also acting like the fact you never been banned on CC makes you morally superior to those dirty pickmes.
Grow up and remember where you are posting right now.

There should just be way to contact staff and remove autobans from anons caught accidentally instead of just telling anons to "just ban evade lol".
Anons liked the pornboard because they could discuss whatever without getting banned for tripping in a filter and the mod didn't wait days just to tell anons to "just ban evade lol". I liked doing tegakis, discussing historical husbandos and talking about dinner, I didn't like CC because I had to go incognito just to see the ban appeal page, appeal, and not get unbanned. I don't hate CC because I want to shit up the place, I hate CC because it's very mismanaged.

>>83684It's performative empty virtue signalling that is more about getting their own way than anything else.
I've browsed /cow/ for over a decade so I'm not bothered by posting on the webring and I doubt that the admin of junkuchan has malicious intent. It's just extremely interesting to witness all the cries of "tranny janny" and moid accusations against the mods of actual female image boards be rendered moot because a male admin let them rapid fire shitpost and use the site like a chatroom. I also doubt that any of them have any concept of guarding their own privacy. No one should be posting on a previously unknown image board with their home IP.

>>83680It's crazy how anons are trying to deny the ass kissing and yet there's so many screencaps of just that occurring.
>>83684Exactly. Why fucking sperg about our admin being a scrote or tranny and then cozy up to a porn addict moid?
>>83689It is beyond their comprehension that imageboards have different purposes and rules. They think since they use LC that they understand how all imageboards work.
>>83692You're being obtuse. It's a pornboard, it's obvious why a scrote is happy women are on it. Think about how on reddit that nearly any women who post on subreddits can get DMs requesting nudes if males aren't explicitly banned from said subreddit. I'm not saying that admin in particular would do anything, but it's like being on a phone call with a porn addicted scrote who you don't know; of course they are excited by and accommodate your "presence". You don't know what is happening on the other end.

One reason other sites don't want to host LC bunkers is because a fast moving shitposting thread overwhelms the moderation capacity on small image boards. The fujochan mod says this almost exactly
>>83716>right now there are too many reports and infighting to parseImagine you're a moderator of somewhere like CC or fujochan. There's CP on one of the boards. Usually you can find and delete it within seconds by looking in the recent posts panel or the report queue. You can't do this because the recent post panel is full chat room tier posts from the LC bunker threads and the report queue is clogged with reports of infighting and newfaggotry also from the LC bunker threads.
