darnit!  >:(

The hack is a redirect to a virus hosted on a chinese website. Found lots of 'ladies' spam links in my directory, and some redirect scripts added on to both forum and non-forum pages.  It uses a pdf as the carrier file for the virus.

The hack has been removed, but I haven't figured out how it happened yet. I'll need more time to prevent the reoccurance.

Its similar to the last hack, but with some differences so not sure if its the same person yet.

Norton Anti-virus quickly caught it.
