Aron's Stompbox Forum hacked

This was posted by one Edwardpl over at Aron's site:

I am the person that hacked your website.

I am about to restore any permissions that I have changed and reset the header. The reason I hacked you was to remind everyone to upgrade software. Your site is running phpBB 2.0.6, and this is highly out of date. You should upgrade to phpBB 2.0.13 as soon as possible. I didn't get SQL or Database access, so the main site, FTP and the database have not been changed.

Remember, you were lucky. I don't have any malicious intent, so you haven't lost any data. However, the NeverEverNoSanity worm is making rounds, completly wiping any website running phpBB * < 2.0.11.

I am resetting the forum, sorry for any inconvenience.

Are you safe here?

That's like mugging someone to show them they can be mugged.

"Well, I mugged you but I didn't take your wallet. Just wanted you to know about the threat of being mugged. Sorry about the black eye."

I quite agree, and very unnecessary.

Read the bottom of the page:

"Powered by phpBB 2.0.11 © 2001, 2002 phpBB Group"

We were at 2.0.11 for a while.

Check again big P!
We're up to 2.0.13 now.

No. It has to do with the image resizing modification. It should be OK now, I just disabled it. I'll have to rework it tomorrow, too tired now.
