Arrow PHP BB Exploit Alert

There appears to be a new worm on the loose. If your phpBB has been defaced, please do the following:

1. Immediately get full backups of your entire website including phpBB
2. Immediately get full backups of your database
3. Get log files
4. Do not delete anything!
5. Do not use these backups to restore your site.
6. These backups are to be used to send to the Incident Investigation Team, and only the Incident Investigation Team. If the poster asking for logs or backups does not have a Support Team rank, do not do anything they tell you to do.
7. PM NeoThermic to tell us you need assistance. Do not post in support asking for help.
8. Close your website (including phpBB!) until the IIT tells you it is okay to reopen.
