Do you have any idea how they got in?

I have no idea, probably some security breach in wordpress.

People also hack websites to place viruses. Nitro replaced all the files so there shouldn't be any security threats to Windows users.

Luckily I have a Mac so it's immune.

Yeah, the site is totally clean.

I wouldn't say they have no life. There are most likely a hacker (which the actual "street" definition isn't somebody causing cyber terrorism) who is either practicing or taking calculated risks to eventually attack a bigger target. The good thing is that nothing was lost in the process although Nitro does have some problems to re-work

yeah, well, hopefully he doesn't hack my bank account! lol

phpbb3 stores the md5 hashes of passwords and not the passwords themselves. You are safe even if a hacker did get the database.

This has happened to me before. What exactly did they do?
