Ah yes, and we, the Perl People, don't suffer from Matt's spammable formmail.pl (and close to every other insecure Matt script). Please grep your web daemon's log for a POST on formmail.pl|cgi|...etc

Yep, I know of the NMS Project, but still hordes of insane people easilly install CGI scripts they find somewhere and don't understand. Also, no one is forcing you to use a horrible thing like phpBB. There are PHP alternatives.

Like always: the more something gets used (phpBB, Microsoft Windows), the more malicious attacks will be written for(/against) it...
