Crap, my forum got hacked HELP!

[Damn True]

Hey guys. I'm an admin for a forum http://half-mind.com/forum/index.php

It got hacked last night. How screwed am I here?
Any ideas?

[Larry Callahan]

It's really slow loading. Was your forum a vbulletin board?

[Larry Callahan]

Nevermind, I just looked around and your forum was a phpbb board. Any chance you backed it up recently or has your hosting company backed it up?

I'll have to find out later tonight. I can't access anything usefull from the office. Apparently the group is some Turkish Liberation e-terrorist organization that has figured out how to bugger up phpbb boards.

I'll find out tonight whats up I hope.

according to the phpbb forum site this is a known security issue.

the system is basically in place, as you can see by going to...

http://half-mind.com/forum/login.php?redirect=
http://half-mind.com/forum/memberlist.php

the forums says that our index.php file has been hacked.

the fix is to update the software... so I guess I need to

backup database structure
backup database content
backup config.php

upload new/old version of index.php

then upgrade to newest version.

if you google "hacked by yusuf"... you will see we are not alone.

I may ask for some help with this. Kinda new to this game.

I think the same group broke into my phpbb on my site about 2 months ago, did they leave you any contact info? email etc? Just so happens my g/f is Turkish, maybe send them something nasty? Already had her write something to them when it happened to me.
