Let me first introduce our brand new Blog. It was our team most wanted site feature, but our limited time didn't allow us to make it come true. The reason we got it (at last) is only one - our new Team Member - please say welcome to Daniel (aka berckoff), the author of our Blog plugin. These were his first e107 steps, but I'm sure you'll hear and see more from this young, talented developer.
You maybe already know what happened to e107.org just because we patched it few ours after the official release of 0.7.17. If you don't go and read e107.org compromised
I'm trying to stay positive - we learned an important lesson, I hope e107 community did the same - a good example of what could happen if you don't apply security patches quick enough.
I spotted first symptoms of panic. They were additionally fed by all kind of security organizations and blog posts - I'm not angry about this - I know this is the way of more traffic and popularity (let call these marketing tools). In other hand, I understand the worries of the people using e107 - especially those with less Development/Administration knowledge.
That's why I wrote a small tool and called it (don't ask me WHY) eCheck Security. I'm not gonna explain what it does here, because I did it already in eCheck Security PHP tool - find malware on your site Blog post.
I hope this tool will make lot of people feel much more peaceful - at least this was my intention while I wrote it :)
