I've just had all the posts on my patched v3.4.4 forum deleted by the Google Bot!
It came along, and somehow, accessed the admin and ran /admin_forums.asp?action=delete

Here's the record from my server log file.

Unless you've got "Secure Admin Mode" set to "off", it shouldn't have been able to do that... and if you've got "Secure Admin Mode" set to "off" you've got bigger problems.

Have you verified that it was the Google Bot? http://www.google.com/bot.html<

Would this be strSecureAdmin=0 in FORUM_CONFIG_NEW?<

Yes - It was the Google Bot.
Secure Admin Mode?
As opposed to the "Insecure Admin Mode" option?
I'd better check that.
