I would guess that tickets are not displayed to non-team members, for reasons I'm sure you can imagine ;)

you will not see other peoples reports ;) security reports may contain info such as users login details for their board or database backups etc... hence they are not public.

i could now post little bit more details, about how my site was hacked.

i run following sites under same server hosing

//domain1.com/...phpBB3-beta goes here
//domain2.com/...some joomla software.

Apparently, //domain2.com/joomla was hacked due to some "vulnerabilities". This was the first hack.

After some days, //domain1.com/phpbb was hacked. (Basically some text introduced in index.php "Hacked by .." + who knows what inside code )

Since phpbb3 install defines its folder permissions etc., is it accepted that it can be hacked, if other "directory/site" is hacked?
