phpBB sites hacked.

Hello:

The phpBB sites are hacked. If you search for "HACKED BY CYBER-ATTACK"
on msn.com you will get a list of all the sites hacked.

Anyone knows what is the way to clean this up ?

Thanks.

This seems to be turning into an annual event. Try searching for "this site
is defaced" and see all the sites that got hit last year.

Don't use phpBB.
