    I've more or less left all the adminin' up to Etoven, but only so much can be done if either the server's security or the password chosen weren't secure enough. What to do?

    Was there a virus package the page was attempting to load? Fortunately, most modern browsers alone will block such attempts and this one seems no different, so it appears to have been a rather amateurish package. Again, I suspect it was done by someone with little to no actual skill and rather just had access to a script. There are 10,000 of those to every one person actually designing the exploits, so it was only a matter of time before some dumb degenerate would come around and do such a thing. The page itself revealed their goal, to brag to a very specific friend.
    "On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
