I haven't fully researched it yet, but our domains were just hacked, and
from the looks of it, the attack came in thru phpBB. This morning,
around 9:00am, I upgraded our webserver to php v4.3.10 from v4.3.9 due
to potential security risks, and at 11:30 it looks as if the attack
started. By 11:48, all of the php pages, on all of our domains were
replaced by one like this...

I don't know if this is a PHP problem or a phpBB problem as of yet, but
I wanted to get the word out here so that y'all can take precautions if
neccessary. I disabled the system() function on our box, and may need
to take further action as I discover more.
Below is what I believe to be the 'offensive' access from the Apache
logs on the domain where the attack started. If you see something that
I'm missing, please let the list know.
