Hello everyone!

There have been numerous reports of hacking on our server, they are doing this by disguising PHP scripts as images and other file types. It is highly recommended that you temporarily disable or delete any uploading or attachment scripts, this includes the kind in forums, for about a week.

From the data we've collected it appears to be by Arabian hackers. We highly recommend that all public file uploaders are secured and that you change your passwords to ones less susceptible to dictionary attacks. Any passwords that contain a combination numbers, special characters, and letters will do fine. A password length of 7 to 14 characters is recommended.

Remember to make backups often and it's good practice to change your password every two weeks or so. Happy hosting! :)

Personal Regards,
Kevin M & Brad R
