Someone tried to hack my photo gallery last night by creating a user account and uploading a tainted php file embedded in a rar archive. I looked up the details on coppermines website.
They seemed to spend a long time crafting this attack though I dont think it worked due to my using the latest version of Coppermine. I checked in a few other areas also and found nothing so I think no damage was done however as a precaution I have disabled new user registrations.

Potentially stupid question here, but why would anyone want to hack your photo gallery?
I don't understand hackers. They are nasty and a waste of space.
Grrrr.
Ps. I like the blue. Good choice.
Wow that was a quick response!
Glad you like the blue I feel less black these days :)
I would guess the reason hacking would be to use my website to forward spam or maybe as a vechical to attack other sites. Possible its just some kid who wants to impress other hackers friends with his "skill"?
