In case anyone hadn't spotted, the forums were hacked. It wasn't specifically the forum, but the host.
If anyone has any problems or anything weird happen (most likely missing data), PM me please.
Merci beacoup!

It's a worm that travels the universe looking for a PHP script to attack, when it finds one it causes it to overwrite itself with a set piece of code. I had to chmod my php scripts to 444 in order for them not to get overwritten.

It is a webworm that attacks all php sites that use a certain version. German speakers can read more here:

As I run also a board - and used to run 2 of them,
I read about this hack more than a month ago, and also modified the "viewtopic-file" as was described on the official phpBB forums to prevent any troubles very soon after - maybe you should have done the same :p
If I remember it right - infected versions are .06 to .10
Cheers
