Probably another WHMCS-related security breach

This is an e-mail I just got from PCSmartHosting:

Hi

We are dissapointed to have to write this email but early this morning we learned that our billing system had been compromised. It appears a MySQL injection technique was used to modify the Gateway table in our database. This has resulted in one customer completing a Liberty Reserve payment (Which we've never offered our customers) to an account not assosiated with ourselves. Our standard payment methods of PayPal, Google Checkout and Debit/Credit remain secure.

We also have reason to believe that passwords on some user accounts may have been compromised through further MySQL injection techniques, and as a precaution we have currently disabled logins to our billing system. Upon restoring the billing system we will force a reset on all user passwords as a precaution.

This incident has been logged with WHMCS and from speaking to a few contacts in the industry we are not the only ones to become victim of this attack. The server hosting our billing area is heavily locked down from unauthorized access, access to our database was gained via a vulnerability in the billing software only.

Further updates will follow once we restore normal service, appologies for any inconvenience this has caused.

Kind Regards,

The PCSmart Team

Looks like another bad WHMCS module :(
