I just had to shut down the ARIZONA POWERSTROKE GROUP forum (vBulletin site) due to an apparent infiltration. From what I'm seeing on vBulletin.com, this is hitting all over the place.

USERS:

Make sure your "anti-virus" and "anti-malware" are up-to-date!!! My computer and a few of the APG members were protected by current software and not infected or re-directed by this hack. We were notified by the software that something was not right and were able to get the site shutdown and a clean-up in progress with no known issues. If you are surfing any vBulletin forum sites without some kind of protection, you are risking issues!

ADMINS:

Here are a few links for the admins:

HOPE THIS HELPS OTHER AVOID ANY TROUBLES!!!

you know, a day or 2 ago I clicked on someones link/attachment and I picked up a virus, but didn't know if it was something already on or from opening the attachment. I was going to notify someone but it was really late and forgot about it, luckily no issues now though, and I don't remember where the heck i was when i opened it, but I think i was in general chat

Is this just affecting the vBulliten supported forums or the members or both?

I have up to date NORTON but still, If it's going to be messing me stuff up I'll go MIA for a couple weeks no problem.

Were clean, so its outside links if anyone catches something.

But as always we will keep an eye out for stuff.
