I moved it here because this is a security issue, not php progrEven though the fix is php programming.
So everyone make sure you have latest version and check your log files  Nils |

Check if you still got admin rights and that no admin has been added and update to latest version (2.0.13) For extra security of your phpBB2 board you can download the phpbb-security mod/hack by aUsTiN --> phpbb-tweaks.com Greetz, Rik© |

They are not hackers, they are LAMERS, script kiddies.

I think he meant that they sent him this email not even from the board address, but just kind of as a prank..
but if it did come from the site/board address.. then you may very well have been hacked, and as everyone else said, check your logs, update.. and make sure no admins(or mods!) have been added. i would say check the privledges of the last 20 new members or so. |

Like Haron said, we are dealing with nothing more than script kiddies here.
I mean... What kind of a lame person actually sends an email to the owner of the site that he is trying to "hack"??? Anyway, I can still see that you are using phpBB 2.0.11. I RECOMMEND that you upgrade to 2.0.13 as soon as possible! (Trap17 cPanel does not offer it yet, but you can download the changed files from www.phpbb.com, and replace the old ones in no time, like I did on my forum: http://forum.suwifi.trap17.com). The newer versions have an updating system, so when you log in to your administrator panel, phpBB will automatically check for newer versions available. I repeat: Anybody that knows how to use a DOS command prompt, can run an phpBB exploit and gain administrator rights on your forum! Of course, you should backup your forum database regularly. |

im not really bothered with that. ive only got 28 members.
Im sure anyone who hacks it is really sad as it's such a small site so they would earn no "respect" for it.. If someone hacked Google for instance they would be known as a hacking god among hackers(or a w**ker among me and loads of other people  )But for my site I dont think the same thing would happen. I'm sure they would rather hack a busy site and cause disruption.. I cant be bothered to change to 2.13 or whatever it was- it probably has security holes so when someone finds them I'll need to upgrade again.  @php releasing two releases in two days.
