    I know it isn't policy to place URLs on these boards. Rest assured this is not my site, nor am I affiliated in any way. It's a legit site that I've come across many times. It may belong to someone on these boards - if so then it is worth bringing to attention.

    It appears to have been hacked and the images doctored.

    Could be an attack from an unhappy competitor - it has become quite a high profile site.

    Could be. Infact it probably is.

    Won't do their other affiliate sites too good either (Loans etc.)

    That's some nasty play. It can be easily traced back to the person who done it though. Hosting company just has to check the recent server logs and see which IP was last logged into the Control Panel or site by FTP.

    Would'nt like to be the hacker of that site when it's traced.

    Penalties can be pretty severe not to mention loss of earnings...

    The attacker will probably have been clever enough to use an IP address that wasn't traceable to him, or spoof it perhaps.

    I can't see any problems so presumably it's all back to normal.

    Looks like they've sorted the images now.

    Must have made them sweat a little !

    That's why I posted on the forum - there was no obvious way to contact the webmaster !
