Yea there was an exploit on the old boards, Jaques from 204TASK sent quite a few emails warning the admin about it but I guess nothing was done to update to the newest version of the boards.

It wasn't really downloading a hack, it was a plugin for Firefox that allowed the user to see certain values, these values were stored in a cookie on the computer. so the 'hacker' actually had to use a fair bit of skill actually. coding wise. Although if he was just following directions from a website then yea not as good, but still.....
