The flaw in a specific version of the vBulletin software allows anyone to easily access the main administrator username and password for a site. This would also allow hackers to access data, such as e-mail addresses, and edit the site at will. The owner of the program - Internet Brands - released a fix on 21 July. However, at time of writing, many sites remain vulnerable." (Content from BBC web page above.) Oooh Err:eek: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
