AAN DE WEBMASTER BELANGRIJK
Hier een tip van een echte phpbb forum freak.
Ik zag dat je nog draaide met versie 2.0.10
Hier zit een beveilingslek in upgrade zo snel mogelijk naar 2.0.11
Lees meer op de website www.phpbb.com
met vriendelijke groet,
Alex

This isn't exactly Geeklog-related, but since quite a few sites seem to be running phpBB (with or without the phpBBBridge), I'd like to point out that there's a worm going around at the moment that exploits a bug in phpBB versions 2.0.10 and earlier.
This seems to be the first time (at least that I'm aware of) that an automatic exploit for a web application is in the wild. The worm uses Google to search for phpBB boards, infects them, and then continues to spread from there. Infected sites show a red text "NeverEverNoSanity WebWorm Generation" (followed by a number) on a black background. More information about the worm can be found in the usual places, e.g. Bugtraq.
So to all phpBB users out there: Upgrade to phpBB 2.0.11 ASAP.
Update: According to F-Secure, Google is now blocking the requests of the worm (dubbed "Santy"), which should stop it for now (until a new worm comes, that uses another search engine ...). It's still strongly recommended to update phpBB, of course.
