Some cracker has been trying to mess with the Girder page, I changed all passwords I use and checked most of the stuff but please check everything you download. That means virus scanner!!

Okay no serious damage done, this was just a dumb scriptkiddie, he used a published exploit posted last week.

[Ron]

I'm working on pluggin some of the security holes until phpBB 1.4.2 comes out, so if you find anything strange let me know.

[Ron]

BBcode is disabled for the moment sorry about that....

As we can see another script kiddie is trying to hack the board (l337h4x0r,) looser, can't even change the name he found in the exploit. Go play in the back yard will ya.

I wondered why I wasn't able to get in this weekend! :(

nooo, this is an old post :(,.. I've upgraded the forum on sunday evening. (European evening). During that upgrade all the dates in the forum got messed up.

But its kinda related to crackers, phpbb.com said it was strongly advised to upgrade because of security reasons, so I did. Sadly the backup was 2 days old ( it takes more then an hour to backup the whole thing :evil: ) Thus I decided the new posts where more important then the dates.
