Site hacked?

Last night I made a visit to one of the sites I maintain and was greeted with the following message:

Simiens Crew, Enquanto Houver FOme Guerra Morte Simiens Existira
(Portuguese tranlation: While there is hunger death war simiens will exist)

As it turns out, this was an index.html page (all the pages on this site are shtml, so I guess it took precedence over index.shtml.) Only one other person has the site access info (in case I'm kidnapped by aliens), but he has no webmaster skills at all. Anyone know what may have occurred? I deleted the page (should've saved it, actually I shouldn't have mixed that last drink.) Laughing out loud

I did send a report to my host.

After googling this phrase, it's plain to see I'm not the only victim.

Just learned from my host that this is a hack through an exploit on my phpbb board.

That's completely inaccurate -- your hosting service is wrong. The exploit comes from the Awstats application, a Perl/CGI application.

Please see the date of my original post. The AWStats hack has only recently surfaced.
