The real bottom line though....something wasn't tied up like it should have been. Hacks, especially on forums are a common occurrence if a few precautions aren't taken. VBulletin and PHPBB are the two LARGEST targets out there coupled with what we had...SQL injection, which luckily for us we had a moron at the helm of the hack that forgot a few things...had it worked a handful of you guys would have been up the creek....also it doesn't help that running a Microsoft Server has it's added downsides...ALL you can hope for is a good backup copy for when something really bad happens...also lucky here that the fix was fairly simple to get in place...
I was all messed up without it though...I emailed the parent company quite a few times offering to do the fix myself for FREE...

What can happen with an attack like that? When it first happened, I googled that banner82 .com/b.js thing and found this
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Security/Vulnerabilities/Q_23411125.html
I then wikipedia'd SQL Injection Attack and it came up with a page but I don't know enough to understand what all could have happened.
What is the point of an attack like that? to steal personal info?

I second that? I read what Kyle linked to...and I don't get it....isn't that why you have firewall's and virus thingies?
