What kind of "frightening security breaches" are we talking here, out of
curiousity? I mean, let's say (hypothetically speaking) I was running a
phpBB on remote hosting on a computer I didn't even have shell access to
(I don't even think it's set up to allow PHP to run commands), and I do
nightly backups of the phpBB data. Do I have anything at all to worry
about?
