phpBB THREAD!

[Ralle]

In the last few days a user called FuntKlakow has registered on MANY phpBB forums around the world.. Just search Google: http://www.google.com/search?q=FuntKlakow
It will return around 267.000 matches on the name. There are two theories of what this could mean:
The user posts in some forums saying stuff like "nice" and "I agree with that", he has a link in his signature linking to a website. So it's sort of a free way of advertising.
It could be a bot that registered on all these forums to attack them all at once with an exploit someone've found to kill phpBB boards.

I would like you all to be careful about this person on your own phpBB forums and on the forums you visit.

Here's a link to get more information on the subject: http://area51.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?sid=&f=6&t=22880&st=0&sk=t&sd=a

Has anyone seen him here yet?

Nop. But i'm quite sure that anyone who register in a phpbb forum with that name will get banned atm.

I just did a search now, 311 thousand results. hardly a tame little piece done by someone with nothing better to do. prepare, this could do a lot of damage to boards not properly secured.
