MustangForums.com Hacked ?
Does anybody know what is going on with MustangForums.com? I noticed that there entire site was messed up for the past 12-18 hours. I got a few notices that a script from a known malicious site was trying to run.

They got hacked with a virus. This morning I went to log on, and Firefox alerted me. It's got some kind of javascript virus from what I can tell.
Here's what Firefox says:

I'm assuming they changed their server password after it happened. I'm guessing there's either a virus on the server, or someone that has access is planting it. Either that, or the cracker is very good, because it was only a few days before it got infected again.
