Thanks Bob and Max. Now I know it's safe. But I still wonder who would do such a thing. Surely wouldn't like to start bringing suspect names into the public though.

No, there should not be any risk of a virus, it was purely a hack into the data.

yes. I think all the members were called f10. Did that probably leave traces of virus around?

Yea, I noticed this morning that the font in the reviews started to change as the page went down.   I guess i didn't see the name thing though.

Thanks for fixing it Max!

I'll join in and thank M@X as well. I know how difficult it is to handle a multitude of tasks and so thanks for getting to this so quickly.
 
Any ideas on who was behind this?

Today 13 April, the site was hacked.
 
Members may have noticed that all the reviewers real names had been changed to all show the same "name". Addtionally, the font used in the reviews became random, distorting the pages.
 
I am pleased to say that our esteemed webmaster M@x was on the case immediately, and had the situation sorted out within a very short time. M@x has also applied further security enhancements which should hopefully avoid a recurrence.
 
M@x is currently very busy with his real job. I am sure you will wish to join me in thanking him for his prompt action in respect of this incident.
