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.

Thank you for the heads-up.

Thanks  for the heads-up.  I hope that at least the substitute photo was something hot, NSFW....
