However I very much doubt they coded a backdoor so they could access the site.

 

The only reason I point it out, is I know of a forum that an admin got in and informed them they were using illegal software, they actually made a post a sticky/global announcement, before shutting the site to "off".

 

Now whether this was really VBB Admin going in there or just an exploit someone found in the code I have no clue. This was back in 2001 ish.

@premiso, As has been pointed out smf is open source. Any backdoor would be found and closed pretty darn quickly.

 

@mat-tastic, While it appears (at this early stage) that this attack may not have been a fault in the board. We have had smf compromised before. Its not indestructible as you seem to be indicating.

 

I'm all for a change. But Id still like to investigate what actually happend. There are no signs of brute forcing the admin password in question, so for now, its hard to say.
