Arcadem Site Gone

[uglygit]

The Agares arcade forum where I visit regularly is no more, it's been hacked by some unscrupulous chap called Dr.Viruzix, please don't try to visit the site I think it attempts to load a virus (firefox immediatley shuts down).

The owner was using phpbb (don't know how secure that is).

I'm trying to get in touch with the site owner, to make him awares.

I had around 450 posts up there, I hope Jeff (the site owner) has a backup of all his stuff, he worked really hard for it. It's promted me to make backup of all my content which I'll soon be doing.

Depends how they did it. I think the hacker who did this forum was nice enough to not delete all the content and posts.

phpbb is one of the easiest to spam/hack from what I know.

If he recovers tell him to upgrade to VB.
