Anyone come across this before and if so, what do you do about it?

NeverEverNoSanity WebWorm generation 17. (Various numbers at the end)

It seems to attack PHP forums. I've found around 1500 on the web currently corrupted. It CHMODs all the folders to global write.

My forum is PhpBB2 but I've found Mambo and a few others with problems.

It's OK, I've found it.

It's the Santy Worm which has just been released and is gaily zapping fora all over the place. Once it's got into your site it goes round and changes all program pages including HTML so that it says

This site is defaced!!!

NeverEverNoSanity WebWorm generation nn. where nn is a number. In my case 17.

I've had to reload the entire site and I've taken the board offline until I can figure out the security issue.

You need to update your phpbb forum.

Good heavens, have you been asleep for the last 24 hours? [;)]

Been there, done that, got the T-Shirt and posted the results in the lounge under URGENT URGENT URGENT.

Turned out that my host hadn't updated PHP. All done now. [:D]

Actually, all done 24 hours ago. [8D] [:D]
