Pink Poogle Toy Forum

Hey all. Most of you prob. dont know me, but I am a regular at neocolours. for the past couple of days, our main index to our forums has been hacked. today when I try and get on, agahst! it is all gone. We are pretty sure that it is a networm that has been going around, and we are all suffering from withdrawl, hence my visiting here. I just want to say that I am very touched that you guys were worrying about us, and just wanted to say thank ya very much

Something in the coding that can be abused, that's all.

Yes, it probably is because of that new worm, which spread quite rapidly. The reason that PPT and a few other phpBB sites (Gaia Online comes into my head) is because they're upgraded to 2.0.11, which is safe from the hackings/worms because the exploitable code is fixed.

So yes, we're safe, and so is everyone who visited the forums. What I've read indicates that it only attacks webservers, not our computers.

This isn't affecting vBulletin type forums is it? If it is, there's someone I need to contact asap before it gets his!

Somebody posted on Neocolours' Livejournal Community saying that they'd phoned sam, and he said he'd fix it as soon as he had internet.

Not hacked, wormed. There's a new worm (Santy.A) that attacks forums using pHpbb.

http://www.computerworld.com/securityto ... 53,00.html

"Worm uses Google to hit thousands of PHP sites"
http://www.cbronline.com/article_news.a ... 4C5E4E36DE

So it's a internet-wide thing...not a single person

According to Symantec... "Perl.Santy is a worm written in Perl script that attempts to spread to Web servers running versions of the phpBB 2.x bulletin board software prior to 2.0.11., which are vulnerable to the PHPBB Remote URLDecode Input Validation Vulnerability (BID 11672). Other systems are not affected. If successful, the worm copies itself to the server and overwrites files with the following extensions:"

So, PinkPT is NOT at risk of attack "Powered by phpBB 2.0.11 (0) © 2001, 2002 phpBB Group"

whoa, so it's a virus eh?

!!! That's the third site I've saw which that happened to! Is anybody safe anymore?
