[yellowfin]

That could have happened. But I don’t think there are many or

[yellowfin]

ok

[yellowfin]

I know search.php is vulnerable to SQL injection and admin password could be obtained by doing that

[yellowfin]

dont think yellowfin even knows whats going on

[yellowfin]

Maybe not since he has posted here

[yellowfin]

Yellowfin emailed me saying he does have a backup from monday and will be restoring it soon
