I reported it, hopefully nothing serious.
Yep - aware of it from another thread and reports - thanks
What sort of loser would you have to be to take to try to mess up a simple forum like this ?
Spotty, pale outsiders in dark rooms.

Thanks AlanJ, I think I am on top of it... spent most of the evening so far clearing out old files and changing passwords.... always hard to tell if you are dealing with a proper hacker or a script kiddie... tending to think the latter at the moment, but you can never be too sure.
It's a script kiddie sp3ctre.
There's a group of them calling themselves the muslim protest team.
They're from Turkey and they're just using known exploits in phpbb.
no real hacker would bother hacking a site like this and then advertise the fact they've done it....
and they certainly wouldn't advertise themselves with an email to "get better security".
trust me

Yeah, it was, although the exploit wasn't a phpBB one... You know what they say, what doesn't kill ya makes ya stronger!
