I am using ubbthreads 6.2.3. We had an incident recently where someone changed the config files and temporarily brought the boards down. We haven't found anything else yet that was tampered with.

Are there any new exploits for this version that we need to be on the lookout for? Also, has anyone else had any problems like this recently?

Thanks for any suggestions

Is the install.php script still on the server? It's possible that someone maybe ran that which would end up overwriting your config file. The install.php script and all createtable/altertable scripts should be removed once an install or upgrade is complete.

That was what happened. The install.php script had not been removed.
