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. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype?

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. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.

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. Actually, all done 24 hours ago. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype? (in reply to BobbyDouglas)
