That makes me so mad! :evil: Why can't they just leave us alone? Glad you guys were able to fix whatever it was though.

Smulkin, I'm not sure how the nuke versions of phpbb are kept as far as updates and security but phpbb has had several security releases within the past few months if this is the method of vandalizm. I've recently updated a forum I run on my webserver at home to ver 2.0.10. With the attacks this close together its likely more are to come when the vulnerabilities of this site spread. Otherwise get on the host to secure the PHP and database isntallations !! I have about the same number of active users (inactive accounts pruned) on my board and no one has ever gotten through using exploits or other holes.
I realize its harder to keep things buttoned up when your using a commercial host, but still it is their resonsibility.

The host is useless and we plan to switch. They are not actually getting in through pnphpbb2, but through a different exploit and a server access hole that the host has *refused* to fix.
