SVRider member?
Possibly old news but SVrider's company have been hacked
http://www.zdnet.com/article/hacker-...sports-forums/ I've only found out today, worth changing your password especially if you use it for other sites.

Re: SVRider member?
There has been a warning up on SVrider for a little while now and if you go to any of the other sites hosted by VerticalScope you will find the same message. It is true that vBulletin is not one of the most secure forum software, but it is one of the most used. The problem here appears to be no database separation between the various sites, which is very dangerous and I would hazard a guess that the majority of sites use MD5 for their database hashing. Having one site hacked is not unusual, but this many definitely comes back to the hosting company. And if the hosting company offers forum software then it is up to them to offer the latest so as to remove security issues, but then it is up to their customers to upgrade which is not always an easy job.

Re: SVRider member?
Couldn't happen to a nicer site.
And I'm not just saying that because i am banned from their forum. (as are several other orgers)
