Yodasplat Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I don't know if you guys are aware of this, or if somebody already posted this here. If so, apologies. If not, heads up. This virus attacks and defaces PHP forums ... and the IPB forum (like GR.net) is PHP based ... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6742668/ I'm glad I got rid of PHP for my board ... I'll say.

Rocky Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I am still reading on this, but I think this is only a concern for PHPbb boards. Funnily enough I recall chatting to our webhost 3 weeks ago, and he was flat out working on patching all his servers because of a new vurnerability with PHPbb boards. I searched the web and found nothing, and he told me that news had not leaked out mainstream, but that sysadmins were working flat out patching their servers.

Rocky Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Sorry for the multiple posts, yeh this is only a PHPbb problem, IPB forums like this are (should be) fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYR_32 Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 OMG'z!!!! Spammers!!!!!!! [3.10] Spam Do not use our Forums to advertise your business or seek personal gain. People come here to read about Ghost Recon and related topics. The definition of "spam" is down to the forum moderator in the first instance.

Apparently it does more than the php. ← It got in through the 3dretreat forums, and attacked the server from there, including your pages there. I believe that's how it works.

CR6 Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 It got in through the 3dretreat forums, and attacked the server from there, including your pages there. I believe that's how it works. ← 3d Retreat uses Snitz forums, not PHPbb. The problem was that another website hosted on the same server used PHPbb and was not secured. Fortunately we do regular backups and the majority of the site and our forums was pretty much back to normal within 3 hours of the attack.

NYR_32 Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 I've read that the worm attacks any vunerable phpbb board, then screws with any files on the entire server that are html, php and a few others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannik Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 One more addition to the long list of why people should not use PhpBB. Ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Do you want the bad news or the bad news? I just noticed there's a website on the same server as this that uses the PHPbb forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
