Santy worm

[Defiant]

While it appears that the threat is largely gone, the forum admins might want to be aware of this:

Thousands of website bulletin boards have been defaced by a virus that used Google to spread across the net.

The worm replaces chat forums with a webpage announcing that the site had been defaced by the malicious program.

Soon after being infected, sites hit by the worm started randomly searching for other websites running the vulnerable phpBB software.
