phpbb hacked

The phpBB Project Website Hacked
Usernames, e-mails and passwords of hundreds of thousands of accounts leaked on the Internet

The project website of one of the most popular open source bulletin boards, phpBB, has suffered a major security breach that has resulted in the exposure of 400,000 e-mail addresses. A hacker has obtained access to both the forum and mailing list databases by exploiting an unpatched vulnerability in the PHPlist newsletter software.

they are talking about phpbb website but its about the mailing list, so if you are running phpbb watch out for some upgrades imho ...
