Hello peeps, just thought I should warn you that the WebWiz site has been a topic of conversation on an Arabic Hacker site. I only know this because the group was responsible for hacker over 100 forums and guest books at the begining of September . The aren't very good, they appear to be just script kiddies taking advantage of ppl that leave install scripts kicking around after installs. I'm afraid I can't read Arabic or I'd tell you the content, but just the fact that WebWiz Guide URL is mentioned in one of the threads means ur gonna be targeted. I've been tracking this group for about a month now, and I've already passed on their details to the relavant countries authorities, but I doubt that much will happen.

The URL if anyone is interested is http://members.lycos.co.uk/abducter/

You need to register to see any of the posts (surprise surprise) I used an online translator and came up with an Arabic name to avoid drawing attention to myself. I've translated some of their other stuff and they believe they are doing it in the name of Allah.
Take care and be careful.

The only people that get their forum hacked are complete noobs that don't read the ReadMe files!!!! If they cant follow simple directions they need to be hacked to learn a lesson.
