iangreig Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4117711.stm Although it doesn't look like this worm was responsible for what happen at fbtb, it looks like the hacker used the same weakness in phpBB to gain access. If you know anyone using phpBB, getting them to upgrade to the latest version is highly recommended. [NOTE - classic-space uses phpBB too, but they are using a much more recent version (2.0.11 compared to fbtb's 2.0.6 IIRC) where the exploitation route has been closed] Ian.
dyip_90 Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 it's really hard to upgrade, i think. I got to fix my friends' phpBB now.
jonfett Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 it's really hard to upgrade, i think. In what way is it hard to upgrade? I thought that there was just a cost.. nothing else. If it were just a cost then it would not be too hard for FBTB to do. At the old forums they managed to collect about $200 from members donations. Jon.

Jon. and phpbb is a free product so there is absolutely no cost to upgrade John
jonfett Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 Oh right, there was a cost at the old ezboard. Well what is the difficulty then? Jon.
