well, they deleted it so must've been something going on there. Why do these jokers keep trying to hack us?

They have nothing better to do than screw with people

Somebody must have gotten to it before me....I didn't get to see it before it was gone.
Thanks for pointing that stuff out, those idiots must really be bored to take the time to mess with forums like that...

Be careful and suspicious of any post with attachments by a newbie with a low post count.

Can anyone tell us what the post was about and what the attachment looked like or said? 
Parent - By ross (***) Date 01-21-2008 14:11
It was a post with an attachment that was a .php file that had some code in it. It probably wouldn't have affected anything, but I deleted it.

i looked at it.you couldn't make nothing out of it.just a bunch of #'s & letters.

Most online forums are coded in the PHP language, but this one is not, so it couldn't be attacked in this way.

hey willie, I was looking at the Anchorage paper the other day and the low was -60 at Chandalar Lake. Enjoy the heat wave while it lasts. If I remember right, it'll warm up long enough to melt the top of the snow and the street then freeze and turn the whole place into a giant skating rink! I'll probably get homesick around May, not before then, though.

Ross, it's been a while since i've coded any php, but as I recall code string $chkmd5return = md5_file($chkfilename); being capable of being subverted.
I believe your correct in that PHP could not be used to attack this site, but I don't think it's a correct asssumption to assume that the users of the site
would be safe in clicking on the file.

Again, I've been out of it for sometime, so I may be very wrong but it may also be something to evaluate for you.

Regards,
Gerald
