Quick? Nope. MyBB were notified of this bad code at the end of March.
Sorry folks, but I'm now a disallusioned myBB user. Our board ranks very high in search engines. Hackers simply search for "Powered by MyBB", and a few minutes later our forums are deleted.
Headaches. We're not at the stage of doing hourly backups, but it is close.
Do this then:

It removes the "Powered By MyBB"
text and replaces it with an image. That way the search engine doesn't cache it...
Updated all my forums. Thanks!
Wewt, thanks, I'll update now

Done!
If this was patched earlier why did it need to be done again?
Sorry if I am missing something.
