Yes, the phorum.org server was hacked using the known and fixed security bugs in Phorum 3.3.2a and before. The good news is that we did take some precautions and all that could be done is to delete the files in the web dir. The bad news is that the language files and our past poll results are gone. The irony is that I had a script ready to go that would backup all that stuff. I was waiting until tonight to put it in.
Current Phorum users should know that anybody should upgrade if at all possible. If you used the secure script or followed the install instructions to the letter, you are probably safe. All of the files used in this hack would be protected by the .htaccess files that the secure script creates.
If you have a language file, please upload it. |
