Re: Our forum Phpbb vulnerability
Yes, and I'm surprised that you forgot. Our forum data was stolen in 2016. viewtopic.php?f=60&t=217506deepakdeshp wrote: ⤴Mon Dec 05, 2022 6:49 am We use phpbb for our forums. There are a lot of listed vulnerabilities. Has there ever been attack over the years?
This post also describes some of the security measures that were put in place to avoid repetition of that attack.
If your issue is solved, kindly indicate that by editing the first post in the topic, and adding [SOLVED] to the title. Thanks!

Re: Our forum Phpbb vulnerability
It's required to use the latest version of Phpbb as more the vulnerabilities are patched in it than the older versions. I hope this is the case.

Re: Our forum Phpbb vulnerability
Hi,
phpBB as a long history of vulnerabilities (and this history is probably not closed...).
No forum admin will tell you the version of the phpBB it runs: this would ease attacks.
Updated phpBB cannot prevent all attacks: DDOS success, as an example, does not depend or not on the update forum software.
Some protection to Linux Mint forum seems to be given by Sucuri.
