Hacked by Team Root, Forumrunner exploit

[Spangle]

I got hacked by a group calling themselves "Team root" today, they altered index.php and installed a file called 000.php

I've since had this email form my hosts :

Hello,

Accounts are commonly exploited through outdated software, compromised cPanel/FTP login details, or vulnerable themes/plugins in your applications. We suggest rotating your cPanel and FTP passwords immediately in the event they were compromised. Instructions on how to reset your cPanel password can be found at https://support.hawkhost.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/47/0/how-can-i-reset-my-cpanel-password

If you would like more information regarding this infection, or are looking for our assistance in cleaning up your account, please contact our support team by either emailing support@hawkhost.com or submitting a ticket at https://support.hawkhost.com.

I take this to mean that if you are using Forumrunner you should remove it.
