In this case, someone had access to the account of one of the forum administrators (no, not mine), and used this access to download a copy of the database. So, yes, the forums were compromised. This is not the action of someone who is looking for a little inside information.

Also, the word "hacked" is inappropriate in this case. They already had this individual's password. It was taken from elsewhere. They logged in correctly on their first try. So, beware, folks -- just saying.
