'Hacked' popup message (3.0.7)

[rgMM]

A member signed up and created several threads and posts. When the threads are opened and we hover on the message itself a popup box "/hacked/" message popups up, the post itself has a message like 'zumsuk... target=_blank'. I am not going to post the full message here but I have it if needed

I realize I don't have the latest vBB but I am wondering if I should and can make posting rights more secure (I thought they were already with 'Enable Standard Controls', HTML off, etc.)

I would strongly recommend that you upgrade. vB 3.0.7 has many well known security problems.

[rgMM]

I realize I should upgrade ofcourse. I am just wondering about how someone can do that, is this something fixed in 3.5.x? or am I missing a setting or somewhere?

Without further info and knowing that you are running a version of vB that has known security holes, then all we can suggest is that you upgrade to 3.0.13 or 3.5.4 either of which has no known holes at this time.

Thanx, I will figure it out and upgrade as well. Just in case someone else searches here for something similar in the future, we are on Window 2003 server, php 4.3.6, mysql 4.0.20
