Yes, we gained full admin access, and the ability to delete every post on the fourm and all the users and change who all the mods were.

Its a VERY good job it was someone with PF's best interests at heart and not someone who would want to harm the site!

But Pet has it all water tight now, so no need to worry about someone else doing the same
We would of course just restore a backup from that day and only lose an hour or so's worth of PF if that were to happen naturally.

It was an exploit that was available for all forms of PHP forum running the base revision that we were and was well documented on hacking sites, so yeah, we were lucky.
