DIY Book Scanner

On or around midnight ET today, the forum was hacked. I restored the forum to the state it was two days ago, so some of your posts have no doubt been lost. Sorry :/

The Wiki is still affected. I haven't found any recent phpBB exploits, but DreamHost was hacked about a month ago.

It's possible that phpBB was attacked through some other part of the site. In any case, we're taking whatever we have to offline. At least the forums are now clean.

I was wondering where all those posts went. No good!

phpBB forums tend to be a good target for hacks/injections. At least more than other forum platforms. You should try and keep daily backups and install updates accordingly.

Cheers,

Yep, we do keep daily backup, and the problem was not the forum - the hack came through our wordpress theme, which used an extension with a recent vulnerability. Once it had infected one PHP file it was able to take the entire site. We went back a couple days just to be sure we were in the clear.
