Hacker auf www.phpbb.com
phpBB.com gehackt - Bush als Montage auf Startseite

Nach Aussagen von phpBB.com, der Webseite der bekannten Forensoftware, wurde der Server von Unbekannten angegriffen und das Layout der Seite verändert. Gerüchteweise soll die 'Simiens Crew' den Angriff begangen haben.

Nach Aussagen von einigen Quellen soll auf der Seite ein Bild von einem windeltragenden Schimpansen gezeigt worden sein, der George W. Bushs Kopf trägt. Wie dieses Defacement möglich war, ist bisher noch nicht geklärt.

:lol:
Find ich cool, auch wenns vielleicht nicht unbedingt eine Vorgangsweise ist, die okay ist...

Zitat: At present www.phpbb.com is offline due to a group of politically motivated hackers wishing to use an opensource project to push their agenda ... shame on them.

I will take this opportunity to note that given currently available information this hacking episode does not appear to be due to phpBB itself. Instead a third party application looks to have been the problem. Other sites were attacked at the same time as www.phpbb.com by the same group displaying the same information and in these cases the same third party application has been suggested as the common factor (thus far). Equally we are not aware of any other phpBB boards being attacked and we have not been notified of any valid security issues recently. Obviously we will have more details when we've reviewed just what happened.

Please do not ask us for updates as to the situation, its cause, etc. We are not holding anything back, we simply cannot comment at this time without having further information ourselves. Just as soon as we have a clearer picture, which depending on the condition of our server may be impossible to obtain, we will update the community. At present our #phpbb support channel is being swamped with "What happened? Any news?" style questions which are making it extremely difficult to support users with real issues.

We are working to recover the server. At best we may be back online Tuesday 8th February but more likely later that week. Meanwhile users can visit our development board, area51.phpbb.com where they can receive support for phpBB 2.0.x. Of course you can also view the next version of phpBB, 3.0 "Olympus" in the process (minus the new style of course!)

We are also maintaining our IRC support channel, #phpbb on the irc.freenode.net network

We apologise for any problems this may cause our userbase. We obviously take the huge support our community gives phpBB very seriously. And we will do our best to return to "normal operations" just as soon as we can.
