I am getting reports from users about a virus when they attempt to access HuntingNut. I am talking to my webhost to see if this is valid, or it its a false positive.
Details to follow as I learn more.

Ok I was able to track down the infection, it does indeed seem we got accessed somehow. I will continue to investigate how this happened, meanwhile the site appears "clean".
If anyone happens to notice any pages that trigger wierd behavior let me know. Apologies for the inconvience!

I had posted a link to a photo hosted on Coppermine and some people said they got a "hack attempt has been recorded" alert when they tried to open it.

Heh no problem. I had a site wide backup made on the 13th of this month, so I made a new backup with the virus, then ran some software I have that does file comparisons to show what changed from one version to the next. It quickly showed the 70'ish files that got modified. I manually restored them all and it seems fine.
As annoying as it is, it seems we are "big enough" that hackers feel we are worth the effort to access.

PS: the trojan really only seemed to affect the newest version of Internet Explorer (version 10), it would just try to redirect the user from HuntingNut to some silly dating site.

One other thing to watch for is rogue certificates being installed on your web browser(s). If you get redirected to another website, shut down the browser and lock the firewall and open up FF or whatever you use) and go to advance settings (encryption, view certificates) and I found found a rogue sever security certificate installed who knows when (date).

Yep, I was going through HuntingNut withdrawal! Norton blocked it at home and whatever they use at work did the same.

Hmmm, when I went to the photos here to put some in a post I got that same warning from Norton that I was getting on Tuesday. Here is some of the Norton information.
