HOW MyBB forum to enhance security?
sorry my bad english , because i come from indonesia Big Grin
They can only do it if they have admin access...

This is the one thing that has plagued mybb's security for awhile but if they never gain admin access it doesn't really matter.
but.why they can get the admin password and username?
Please, let me know how to improve security in MyBB?
Don't know honestly. I'm not aware of security issue regarding that at this time. It may have been a badly coded plugin for all I know. I would recommend contacting the staff through the contact form with more information about your site.

All that that "hack is" is arbitrary PHP execution in the templates system. Labrocca raised the issue a long time ago and I believe it was already fixed (I could be wrong).

Anyway, the hack's not much use unless ( as said above) the attacker somehow gains access to your ACP or you download a theme from a shady site with this kind of content.

Also, that was posted back in January 2011 - just to let you know Wink

I use a theme Breeze, and Breeze theme is the result of converting from vBulletin skins, I download these themes from mybbvn.com
You're probably al-right Wink MyBBVN is fairly well known. If you want to double check, you can sue the search in templates tool to look for suspicious code like that outlined in the post you linked to.
This "issue" will be fixed with MyBB 1.6.4. Anyway, when you have admin access you can do a lot of evil things.
