It so sad to know that board could die only because someone very stupid hacks it again...
And so bad that a webhosting company is not good enough to protect its own servers !

The hack has been because of a leak in the phpbb script.

Why does anyone want to hack into this board anyway?

I have absolutely no idea. I think this board is quite uninteresting for others to hack.

Could it be jealousy...by someone whose alternative board wasnt so successful ? :(
Just a thought...i'm not making any accusations.

Barrett I believe that's not correct.
The hack was done by someone with knowledge of the Spanish language according to some message i've seen appearing.

Why - of course not!



It's most likely just some bored teenagers attacking random boards.

My Institute's web page was hacked some weeks ago as well.

I'm not suspecting anyone of this board.
But I do know that on the servers of my hostingcompany are some controversial Dutch weblogs. They might try to reach them through a leak in Phpbb. [:xx]
