phpbb.com, the open source forum software development project, has suffered a serious hack attack and is still closed at present.

The hack apparently occured not through the troubled phpbb software itself - which was recently targeted by the Santy Worm - but instead through use of an Awstats exploit reported on January 17th.

The phpbb.com site is currently closed, with a single page message explaining that a group with apparent political motives hijacked the site server and has locked all access to it.

phpBB Site Cracked, Developers Locked Out
