Bulletin Board Worm

[A.B.Normal]

Please tell me vBulletin isn't effected by this,I'd hate to wake up Christmas morning and not have OTC .

The worm only attacks widely used message board software called PHP Bulletin Board. Other than displaying the text message, it does nothing malicious to infected computers, according to antivirus firm Kaspersky Labs. Because it spread rather quickly Tuesday morning, F-Secure Corp. issued an alert about Santy.

It shouldn't, however, this board was originally phpBB. The database was converted to vBulletin somtime ago though. I doubt it'll get infected.

vB it's-self has things pretty well sown up, but the PHP ver. on the server
at IH, the host, has just been upgraded to close a hole that may have been
because of this.
In any event things should be fine here, and for all the other 3.0.3 ver. vB boards now. (hosted at the same hosting co as here.)

We should be ok , like cat said vB and the host is keeping a good eye on this and keeping up to date.
