Somehow someone managed to change my forums index page, as well as the admin CP's index page. This is inconcievable. How? How can you change a page without having FTP access?

There's only one admin user, and one FTP account, both of which are mine. The passwords are both different, and both cryptographically strong. So my question is how. Without FTP how do you change someone's web pages?

no, and you have to be a registered user to post. All of my registered users are people I know personally.
