Yup those hackers are at it again and it appears that 40,000+ sites have been hacked. The article has all the details as to how they did it. The problem when these types of attacks occur is that it’s not always easy to spot the hack. In this case people coming to your site are redirected to several other sites. You should go to your site now to see if that is the case. IF you ever see anything that seems fishy it’s better to play it safe, after all people rely on your site as a safe place to be and if it becomes no longer trust worthy you could see a significant impact on the number of people who use your site. This really seems unfair but that’s just how things are in the internet world. Security is a very hard thing on websites and depending on how popular your site is it can really become a target for hackers. They want either big sites with a ton of visitors who they can in turn infect with whatever malicious application they dream up or generate traffic to a site of their choosing to in turn generate income. There is a lot to this sort of thing. Sometimes they want low traffic volume sites that they subtly change because the owner of the site would never notice.

What can you do about this? Unless you are a security expert there is probably not much you can do on your own. I would highly suggest if you think your site is affected to take this very seriously and see if you can hire someone to fix it. It could end up costing you quite a bit but think of the impact if you don’t fix this.
