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.

thanks for the link man, interesting how easy it was, the guy just used brain ... good work, but why the hell make damage to open sources ...

400,000 free e-mails. DAMN nigga.

For someone with a hosting company, that's a SERIOUSLY stupid thing to say :2 cents:

You do realize that most of your products make extensive use of free* software, right?


*free as in beer, as well as speech

damn.This is really fucked up

:2 cents:

This article is very misleading at first glance. I read it earlier and immediately thought phpbb (the software) was hacked.

It is actually phplist that has a vulnerability. They released a patch for this on January 29.

If you are running PHPLIST make sure you get it updated.

i didn't do it

The fundamental designstructure of those forums (including VB) is a security JOKE

If I should reccomend a new FREE script today, It would be http://www.phorum.org/

Just like no expensive shit ever been hacked. :P

not his fault.. old age..

the hack was done by exploiting a third party addon script. phpbb3 is secure but just like Microsoft Windows majority of the hacks are done through 3rd party crap
