Default RE: Virus/Trojan problem - read

The site has not had any know problems in the past. My server has run pretty clean. The firewall has done a good job keeping folks out. This event started on May 28th from what I can tell. A handful of files were altered on the site, most notibly the home page.

My research today seems to indicate it may have been due to a HUGE security hole in a PHP bulletin board program I had loaded ages ago in 2001. Has not been utilized, and was loaded just for a test. But apparently there was a big problem, recently discovered, which allowed folks access through the BBS into some very critical host/server files and functions.
