October: Malware Attack Month
I believe this issue had been taken care of here at FT. What a relief!

It appears FT is not the only innocent victim under attack. I was not aware of this (sort of) malware epidemic until I read another announcement this evening from another board (ALLUC Announcement: 11/3/2007). I visit the site to fix my non-mile-nor-point-related addiction (TV Shows). Yes, I am a helpless junkie now y'all know it.

The ALLUC site mentioned yourmusic suffered the same banner ads hijack back in October:

I am not sure if my "discovery" this evening would help our hamster team* prevent future attack. Nevertheless, I figure it's worth mentioning so our fellow FTers know we are not alone and IB probably was not at fault.
