hey admins saw this and wasnt sure if you were awarehttp://digg.com/security/phpBB_mass_hack_being_prepared_ . just thought i would bring it to your attention just so you can keep your guard up.
basically in short there is a bot going around that targets phpbb forums and it registers it self as FuntKlakow and is capable of spamming boreds and possibly bombing boreds. some times it randomly post and in its sig are ads. The thing most people are worried about is not so much the spam and ads but that it may start bombing forums. not sure how true it is on the bombing forums part but just passing on info that i have gathered. this possibly should be moved to the OT but just wanted to make sure you are aware of it!

It has been brought to my attention already. Thank you.
