Initially I thought it only affected phpBB, and it does, but it uses phpBB to get into the server. If your server is slack on security, and your files are modifiable by users on the same server (through Telnet / SSH for example, not FTP), then this virus can spread and destroy all of your PHP / ASP / HTML files as well.

We're lucky we're on a secure server, as I'm sure there are a qutie a few phpBB's running on here somewhere.
