Flagsonthe48.org was hacked

[Stephen]

This appears to have affected the entire webserver. I've opened a trouble ticket with the webhost. The site should be up within 24 hours. Gallery and forums may take a little longer.

Yep, someone did hack it. Hope their jollies are happy. I'm not impressed.
:evil:

Site reads @ 9:15:

This site is defaced!!!

This has been fixed.

There was a security flaw in phpbb, the software running the forum. Once the files were restored (by the ISP) then forum was upgraded (again, by the ISP).

Everything is hunky dory now.

Phew. This speaks highly of FOT48's Web host. When I see new releases of phpBB, I'll be sure to patch the FOT48 forum too...

You got to be pretty low and callous to hack a site like FOT48. Utterly no class. Good to see it back up. Has an offical date for next year's event been determined yet?

We weren't specifically targeted. The script kiddies are out there searching for any site using an outdated version of phpbb. Once one is found, it attacks and defaces the site.
