Sorry about that, folks...
 

Okay, so we got hosed by a malicious script due to a security leak in our image gallery and were offline for about an hour and a half. Anybody who was online at the time and saw that, you might want to run a spyware sweep on your system just to be on the safe side.

No forum data was lost -- everything (recent posts, etc.) is intact -- the security breach has been plugged and I don't think it'll happen again. My apologies for the inconvenience. I'm just glad it happened at the end of the week but before the weekend started.

Nothing to see here... carry on...

Glad to see you are back up with nothing lost Chris. :)

That was fixed pretty fast! Good job. :)

good job you got it fixed :)

Glad to see all is well. I did some scans with Hijack This, Ad Aware, and Spybot and nothing has turned up. Im on Vista 64.

DVXuser was worried. Good to here you guys are back up

wow.... good job! I got a bit scared there.... don't know what I'd do without my dvinfo addiction!

I use Malware Pro it found what ever it was something I haven't seen before, but it always finds that stuff. good program!

There is an image gallery?

Nice recovery! Thanks for staying on top of it and restoring this great service. Somebody must've perceived what a valuable target DV Info is. Whew! Y2K8 and still serving.

That was ridiculously fast. Well done Chris!

That was fast. I ran into it on my computer at work. What steps should I take to ensure it didn't leave any nasties behind. Its a Mac.

Great job containing that guys. I was on at the time on my work computer and was like wtf. Why do people have to be such douchebags?

Hey, Mike, I don't think we picked up anything on Macs.

I opened it with my Vista machine and it downloaded a .RAM file to the desktop. I immediately deleted that file then disconnected from the net and ran a scan. It came up clean.

I opened it with the Mac and Safari gave me a pop up about not having the correct plug-in for a mime type of unknown.

I'm hopeful that nobody had their system compromised.
