I really hope you are running the latest version of phpBB here...
It's getting "interesting":

Yes, we are. We just hide the version number to prevent "google attacks" e.g., a new exploit is found in phpbb, search google for "phpbb 2.0.X" and then you find 500 forums running the affected version and you exploit them.

I'm not at liberty to disclose any more information here, but I can say that at least one person used the 0-day exploit on this board, and installed a bnc. Thankfully he's now gone, and all his IP's have been logged and passed onto the relevant authorities.

I shall be keeping a close eye personally on all releases and "bugs" in the future.

What a world we live in, eh?
