I checked out the forum (the index page is now at: http://urban.usc.edu/forum/default_old.asp) and found that the page had indeed been hacked. Does anyone know of any potential security flaws that exist in Snitz Forum that would have allowed this? How should I go about patching or fixing this flaw to prevent this type of hack again?

Thanks,
Brady

yes, you are using an old version that had a number of security fixes. you should upgrade to the latest version.
