phpBB – Cautionary tale



May 24th, 2005

"The Pictorialis Forums have been hacked beyond repair. The hackers have left a message that says that the data is intact and can be restored but I refuse to ask them to do so or pay them in return. From what I gather, the database was modified to stuff the data into table overhead and out of the tables."

No matter how much of a pain upgrading might be, a hacker attack can take your forum offline in a matter of minutes.

Upgrade and stay safe!
