LOL

STV was flooded by the Santy.A worm yesterday. The worm tries to exploit a security flaw of an old version of phpBB and PHP. I have updated these programs and we are not vulnerable to the flaw. I made some "fixes" to block the worm. However as new worm variants come out the fixes will have to be adjusted. If you guys see this worm back again please send me an email.

The previous "most users ever online" record was shattered and now stands at 822. I'll have to reset that and we can make a new, legit, record.



P.S.

Have a happy AND safe New Years!
