External Hosting Sites - Possible Hacking

Gentlemen, we've had a case of a Member's external picture hosting site (Imageshack in this instance) being hacked and one of the pictures on it being substituted by something completely different. This substituted image then appeared within the specific historic build thread. This has now been corrected and everything is back to the way it should be.

I emphasise that it was NOT the site that was hacked, but the external hosting site, but I thought that people should be aware of the possibilities.

I'd like to thank the two members involved in the discovery of this and ask that if anybody finds anything untoward that they let me know.

Better to be aware and thus prepared even if it is unlikely.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Thanks  for the heads-up.  I hope that at least the substitute photo was something hot, NSFW.... :rolleyes:
Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.
