Anyone with VBGallery should read this thread and fix the hole.

After getting hacked, I found out that the weak link is the Photopost VBGallery. The hackers were uploading PHP files disquised at media files and the server recognises them as php when testing the upload and then runs it and sets up their command center. I got hit twice and a LOT of other people running this script are getting hit.

Here (from my log) is how the second hacker found us by searching for Photopost vbgallery

This is the exact time the board went down. There are a bunch of other
entries of him doing his work but at least now I know where they are getting
in. It will make it a lot easier to keep them out

If you have Photopost VBGallery, shut it down until you fix this hole. I wouldn't even post this here but the authors seem reluctant to notify their users about this threat and meanwhile these kids are mowing down sites by the dozens.

thanks for the heads up!
