Re: Counter for each post?

George,

phpBB requires that the Admin update their scripting to the latest version as soon as it comes out. The reason the hackers show up is due to lazy admins who never upgrade their software. Hackers then develop tools to scan the web for sites that are out of date, target the insecurities, then exploit them. The websites PacificNG and The-Ashpit have been running phpBB for years now without issue. Sure, there have been instances of hacking on those sites, but those hacks were not caused by phpBB, rather by holes in the hosts security. I believe RYPN is using phpBB as well, it is fairly standard across the web.
