Has FuseTalk "AnandTech Forums" just been hacked or something?!?!?!

[RichUK]

I post this in an Ot thread, HERE

The British don?t have mass on the same scale as say the US Forces, but our quality in troops is superior IMO. SAS anybody.

And let me just say, if it came down to it we would wipe the floor with Israel. The British have been winning wars for many centuries, its in our blood.

Then received this warning message pop up from AT, HERE - I screen cap'ed it?!?!?!?!

EDIT, PhotoBucket just went down here is another hosted image HERE

Also can some please explain the Confused Avatar in THIS THREAD. Under then name of ATOT, he is the OP.

He's changed it now to the black man avatar, it used to be a confused smiley in the place where the avatar should be. When ever you hovered over the image it would display the linked message with the contents of your previous post.

I'm guessing somebody got into the cookie jar....that is...hacked their cookies. :Q

I don't know, I think you'd need to do more than hack cookies though. Actually aspx code hacked?

I was kind of wondering the same thing when I posted about the weird banner (weird for AT I mean) I saw:

Uh-Oh.... :Q

Any info? If the site has been hacked, how secure is the info in our profiles?

It is either bad input validation somewhere where he picked his avatar or someone with access to the db manually inserted it. The first is more likely. It was a javascript popup that was inserting what was in your clipboard buffer. It is harmless and nothing to worry about on your end in this case. However, it is something for FuseTalk to worry about.

I get similar objects when I haven't cleared my cache in a while......

Yes, I too observed a confused smiley avatar. It was unnerving.
