Hmmmm, I am quoting myself...proof that I am insane!!!
This just goes to show why you should setup publicly accessible
servers in the orange zone, atm we have no way of knowing what kind of
access the attacker has to the SW webserver and as such, what kind of
access they may have to other computers on the same network (if any)

Imagine if this was your webserver and you had it on green, how long
would it be until the attacker finds the other computers on your
network...

The other cause for concern is that the attacker might have access to
the personal information stored by the forums, such as full names,
email addresses (even the ones hidden from the public), IP addresses
you have had when visiting the forums etc.

My other concern is how much of this can be blamed on memset (the
people who host the server), I suppose we won't know that until we
know what happened to the server in the first place.

Now that I have finished my little rant (thankyou for reading it), I
will quote myself again:
"I am not a member of the smoothwall team, nor do I work for
SmoothWall Ltd. My words should not be read as official responses as
they are not, they are my words, and I take full responsibility for
them."
