Hello, I currently run an Invision Power Board v1.3 and latly my forums have been getting cracked into by someone who is stealing staff account's cookie's. Does SMF have better security then IPBv1.3 and will it prevent cookie stealing? The answer will surely effect whether I convert to SMF or not. I await a reply thanks!
Cookie stealing is normally (AFAIK) done by html injection. SMF has had a few potential holes for very minor html injection in the past, but these are patched as soon as we know. You can install these upgrade packages through the package manager in 3 clicks.
