Hi, the forum of piloten.be got hacked. Too bad, it was a very good site too. Hopefully they have some backups.
They were running on an old version of phpbb, wich is very hacksensitive. I hope yours is up to date.
Anyone knows more?

No, it can not affect your pc. The whole forum is down, so nobody will be posting under your name.
It's not like they use viruses or something, they use a leakage in the code of the software wich will give them acces to administrator functions or give them the power to change the software code. Every software has leaks.
I run a forum myself too, and if you look on the forum of phpbb.nl you see a lot of people getting hacked by these same group of Turkish hackers, and all they use older versions of phpbb, so that's why it's so important to run the latest version.
