March 2008 – Mass Hack Demo from Schmooog on Vimeo.If you got a forum using phpBB you have to make sure you're using the latest version. Back in 2004 another mass hack of phpBB occurred 
so this is not the first (and absolutely not the last time) the users of phpBB forums learn the hard way how important backups are.

Is this gonna end someday??

No, it's going to continue as long as the hackers can earn money
. Also if you use phpBB you will have to accept that it got way more insecure code then most other softwares on the market….
