phpBB Mass-hack being Prepared?

Article reads like engrish but read it anyway if ur running a phpbb forum:

During the last few days a bot using a name FuntKlakow, has been registering to at least hundreds (maybe thousands) of phpBB forums. Next time the phpBB announces a critical vulnerability, the bot would have everything ready from attacking thousands of sites/forums.

The original posting on a German board:
"During the last few days a bot using a name FuntKlakow, has been registering to at least hundreds (maybe thousands) of phpBB forums.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=com&...ow&btnG=Hae&me ta=

Bot is also capable for posting to forums: http://forum.uebimiau.org/search.php...thor=FuntKlako w
http://www.alternativ.ro/forum/searc...ch_author=Funt Klakow

But most on most forums the bot keeps silent. Ok, what is a danger? Next time the phpBB announces a critical vulnerability, the bot would have everything ready (just a post click away) from attacking thousands of sites/forums.

i wonder if they have something that actuallypoints to it beingsomeone trying to do harm..

I have written bots like that for other reasons..

Infact i built a php version called namereserve so a person can register there nicks on thousands of forums so it doesnt get taken before they find the forum.
