phpBB.com Itself Got Hacked! Hacker Posted And Released All 200k Logins In Blog and Uploaded Whole DB in RapidShare.com
This is almost insane. I just got the news on a phpBB forum.
Some HACKER from yet unknown country hacked phpBB.com using vulnerabilities on outdated PHPList installation.
Hacker Spend Over 16 Days inside those vulnerabilities in server, then he used injection to run his own code in server and then slowly he hacked whole logins BD. And there is almost 20000 user there, Hacker have all email and logins, he also such careless and for showoff he gave all important login openly in his blog and uploaded whole DB, SQL file in RapidShare.com and distributed all of it.
Main Risky Portion is mainly Web Geeks, Web Master, Admins used phpBB.com and there forum, mailing list, so all of there infos has been compromised. If some user are idiot enough to use universal password in all site and email, then he will be in great Trouble.
BTW Update News is all those file on RapidShare.com already been removed by RapidShare.com after massive complain. But hacker blog still online, ‘coz as always Google security team seems responsing so lately.
