McFilter Was Hacked, Did You Visit Yesterday?

Yesterday evening I discovered that quite a few pages on this website were infected with the JS/Redirector trojan, which was trying to infect any visitors with some form of nastiness.

I’ve been through and removed the infection from the site, but if you visited yesterday between 2pm (when the attack happened) and midnight (when I’d finished unpicking it all) then you should check that your machine hasn’t picked up any sort of virus.

UPDATE: It seems the site might have been infected for longer than just a day, possibly a week or two. The times that seemed to indicate when it was hacked might just have been the most recent changes to it. Whichever, I’ll be keeping an eye on things for any recurrence.
