Hi, I clicked on HellKrusher's profile (I recommend you don't unless really know what you're doing):
http://www.voidserver.com/modules.php?n ... ellKrusher
And got a blank white screen with the text "Possible Santy Worm Attack!"
It's not gonna be Hell's fault, he's a top guy, but I'm not sure what to think of it.
*After reading about the Santy Worm on Wikipedia, it seems it got into the site through the forum's engine.*
Santy Worm?

Re: Santy Worm?
The Santy worm is written in Perl, and exploits a flaw in a file called viewtopic.php that allows an SQL injection exploit, in which SQL database commands typed into a web form can be executed. The worm defaces the web site with the phrase "This site is defaced!!! NeverEver NoSanity" and then seeks out other phpBB sites to attack, apparently using Google to locate the target viewtopic.php files. A Google search for the file currently returns more than 4 million results, while an MSN search lists more than 37,000 appearances of the defacement. Internet security firms are issuing public requests for Google to block these searches to limit the spread of the worm.
So essentially its harmless to the Host computer but is just an attack on the site by a bot.....And the award for most pointless exploit bot goes to? :-??
Edit: http://www.ravenphpscripts.com/postt4989.html - This post indicates that this ISN'T a santy-worm attack but is actually the forum thinking its Santy-Worm through its Protection features.
