I haven't fully researched it yet, but our domains were just hacked, and from the looks of it, the attack came in thru phpBB.

I don't know if this is a PHP problem or a phpBB problem as of yet, but I wanted to get the word out here so that y'all can take precautions if neccessary. I disabled the system() function on our box, and may need to take further action as I discover more.

I'm fully aware of what was written on phpBB's site, and have been running 2.0.11 (the latest version) for the past two weeks.
