Re: New (maybe old?) PhpBB worm about?

Interestingly enough if you google for a combinations of that log
entry you dont get much until you hit "sirh0t".
Google turns up quite a bit on this busy fellow as evidenced here:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&q=sirh0t&btnG=Search

sirh0t seems to be into defacing phbb forums and a bit of botting.

The real entertaining part is when you go to the w00pie.nl (sirh0ts)
site, it seems to have been defaced by another group "0x1fe crew" that
have a low opinion of our lad sirh0t, I'll leave the content for you
to view at:
http://w00pie.nl

A bit more googling turns up the following:
"Five computer hackers in the Netherlands have been handed sentences
ranging from work orders to youth detention for disabling a number of
websites operated by the Dutch government."

Have a nice day.
