Subject: phpBB mass-hack being prepared (FuntKlakow-bot)?-

http://www.issociate.de/board/post/312809/...being_prepared_

During the last few days a bot using a name FuntKlakow, has been
registering to at least hundreds (maybe thousands) of phpBB forums.

Ok, what is a danger?
Next time the phpBB announces a critical vulnerability, the bot would
have everything ready (just a post click away) from attacking
thousands of sites/forums.

http://www.google.com/search?q=funtklakow

a person who reported this news to a forum got 243,000 on google and 5
hours later 252,000. It could be that this is popular query, so google
is tuning up, or that is 12 000 comps per 5 hours (2400/hour,
40/minute). If it is based on some worm, then this rate could grow
exponential... Interesting to see how it spreads.
