I have removed the attacking user account.

Admins - I shouldn't be the one first to respond to this kind of thing.

bytemaster,

Infected accounts are displaying the exploit in their signatures. For example, member 'Akado':

https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=11056.0

This exploit should be taken care of, no '.php' files should be allowed between [ img ] tags

On it at the moment. It seems that user wmap exploited an smf bug to upload PHP scripts as photos. This is most likely as a result of us upgrading to a dedicated server with our hosting provider, and hence making it possible to execute non-smf related scripts.

We are working on resolving this issue asap.

Meanwhile, If anybody gets a similar prompt please notify us.

could we be at risk even if we haven't gave our info? Is it like a virus loaded on memory or only a phishing attempt?

It gets worse. As the market cap rises there will be much more targeted spear phishing. This is why as the market cap increases you also wan't a diverse group of owners. Centralized ownership with a high market cap is a liability in some ways.

I was looking at this at like 7AM.

Hook me up with some admin status BM-- I have had admin status on peercointalk for a long time (although I haven't been going there much lately).

Me, too, please. It's always daytime somewhere, where one of us is on the forum. If a number of us are vigilant, we can knock it out before it bothers too many users.
