A few minutes ago, I saw a guest on my forums who had the following listed as their action in the "Who is online": (removed)

When I looked at the link (removed) I found a strange script file.
Was this a hacking attempt?

Nothing happened, I also don't have ImPex on my forums.

Any idea what this thing is trying to do?

You're right. That does look really suspicious. It has several references to MD5 hashes in there too

Edit; I got told that thats a spider trying to find vulnerable forums

The little red aol box poped up when I clicked it saying we have found a virus, but were not able to stop or delete it. Its wonderful having aol security.:mad:

Sorry :(
When I opened the page, I had no problems and I didn't expect a text file to cause any harm :/
I hope that didn't mess up your system :(

So it's looking for vulnerable forums?
Vulnerable in which way?
The thing looked for an ImPex directory on my board, does that mean it could make use of it in some way?
It also included that Arcade link in the URL.

I was kinda shocked when I saw that thing, it kinda scared me aswell as the text file.
I've never been hacked before...

Older versions of ImPex had a RFI exploit I believe
