Make sure you upgrade your phpBB forums

March 18th, 2008 by Andreas from Xavier Media

Since a few days over 200 000 pages (most of them using phpBB) have been compromised with an exploit according to McAfee.

This video will show you how it looks like on the users side:
March 2008 - Mass Hack Demo from Schmooog on Vimeo.If you got a forum using phpBB you have to make sure you’re using the latest version. Back in 2004 another mass hack of phpBB occurred :( so this is not the first (and absolutely not the last time) the users of phpBB forums learn the hard way how important backups are.
