I started this thread because of need to know what caused NovaBoard web site hack.
Why? I want to know is this forum system safe and is there security holes.
I need to know in order to try to protect my own forum
I\'ll be glad to hear that this software is as secure as I think.
Just I\'m worried about multiple attempts to hack OUR website.
I\'ll appreciate all provided info.
Thank you.

Quote: I would just like to start off by saying thanks to all those that reported that the website had gone down, and to reassure you that the hackers did not use NovaBoard to penetrate our server, it was a flaw in WordPress. Let me just say that again, it was a flaw in WordPress, not NovaBoard.
As I pointed out in the blog post, they did not use NovaBoard to do the hack, it was WordPress (or one of it\'s plugins).

Glad to hear it James.
I was worried about Novaboard.
I recommend you stop using Wordpress, a software was not always 100% recommended.
I guess because of that output type Novaboard 1.1.5 will be delayed a little more, I guess.
Similarly, I\'m really looking forward to waiting Novaboard 1.1.5.
I leave a greeting!

Hi rafael,
Yeah it\'s a good point, something we are definitely looking into.
We\'ll try and get 1.1.5 out when we can, but yes, it has been set back a little bit because we haven\'t been able to chat amongst staff about different aspects etc.
Thanks for sticking with us :-)
