There are some vulnerabilities using Private messages . Are you updated with the latest patches?? You should make sure your BBTONuke is upto date version 2.1.0 is the lates build for the forums

I just looked and I'm on 2.0.5 I won't get a chance to upgrade until next week !!
What will they be able to do with this??
I just disabled Private Messages (don't use them anyway).
Hopefully that will help untill I can get the upgrade done..

have you been able to get their IP?? whos Ip was that posted above??
i would suggest tracking their IP and ban it for now untill you get time to upgrade
Hopefully disableing the Module will work .. maybe even change the Private Messages modules folder name so they cant acess it directly incase that is what is going on also
Peace and good luck ..

Well, deactivating the Private Messages didn't help
Was STILL getting new messages (couldn't see them, but still got them)
Since I don't use that anyway, I just completely removed the module for now.
When deleting I DID FIND that there was a HIDDEN .htaccess file in the Language directory of Private Messages (which I didn't get to look at).
I figured it was better to delete is as quickly as possible just in case one of the little buggers was on line......

.htaccess files are good security files .. you can set rules in those files to deny users from accessing the files and folders directly .. Deleting those may not be a wise thing to do
