phpBB: The forum attacked.

"Maintenance

We are sorry to report that we have been attacked through a vulnerability in an outdated PHPList installation. phpBB.com and related sites will remain unavailable while we work to recover. No vulnerabilities have been found in the phpBB software itself.

You can download phpBB here: phpBB

You can get support at the temporary support forums or on IRC: chat.freenode.net #phpbb

– the phpBB team"

Source: phpbb.com • Maintenance

Advice if you use the forum: Make a (two) local backup(s) of

The original download.
Download the installed code after configuration and security settings.
Take regular backup at your web host. In my cPanel it is done in seconds and downloaded to my local computer.
