You should also subscribe to the bug forums cause anytime there are security fixes you will me notified and be able to stop these hacks before they happen.  |

| You've likely got an iframe in one of your forum descriptions. These links have information regarding the most recent security fix. In addition, as MaD2ko0l said, you really need to upgrade to the latest version of Snitz. Old versions are likely to have security holes in them. |

| Also make sure you change the hacker back to a regular user and lock their account. |

Yes you will need to reinstall the mods if you download a freash copy of the Forums and install that way. but you can also go through all the security updates and apply each on individually that way you woudln't have to reinstall the mods.
Really you will want to see how many mods you have to install or how long it will take to apply all the fixes. If the fixes is going to take longer than the mods start with a fresh copy and apply your mods if not go the other way around.  |
