Security Hole
I just got word from the hosting company I use and they are stating that their is a security hole with the program. Someone apparently got in via the Chats_&_Forums section and changed the site into a bandk phishing site. Any word from the developers about this?

Hi,

Please have them forward details on the security hole and we will investiage immediately (i.e. include any logs that show the request the user made, or any signs of tampering with the software).

Cheers,

Alex

Hi Karl,

Yes, it doesn't look like Links was involved in anyway. All signs point to a php exploit in another php script.

Cheers,

Alex
