During Easter we learned that some phpfox sites were literally cracked ('hacked' is most commonly used out of context), funny thing is these sites did not apply the security fix that prevented this. We released that security patch over a month before the attacks. Thankfully the affected sites realized it was their mistake and didn't complained to us.
If your site is affected by this attack please contact our support department as soon as possible.
To help alleviate the situation our support department has been attending these cases regardless of their support access, with our without valid support we have been helping sites by cleaning their corrupted files and restoring their site to a working and healthy state.
Word of advise, stay up to date with security patches.
Edit: Ray said something today I had not thought of, people with pirated sites did not get the free clean up that we provided. Just by having a valid license we fixed the site administrator's mistake free of charge. Something to think about...
