    Default The Forum main page has been exploited

    Hi, I don't know if anyone can read this, but the main page of this forum has been exploited, and nothing has been done... :|

    I entered the forums through my browsers history.

    I hope this gets fixed soon. :)

    Yes there is a phpBB 2.0.16 the admin will just have to change one script and then your done, but this was Permissions exploit, when you put 777 as a folder permission, anybody can get in to it if you know how which is very easy when using a forum.

    With 777 permissions, that bugger could've done anything, right?
    Thank heavens nothing's been deleted.

    The hacker obviously has nothing better to do with his life.

    i thought that altering of page is just a fairly warning
    good thing is no damage has been done
    btw, wtf is he doing setting everything to 777?
    better hurry and change them to 755 or something. if i remember correctly.
