Urgent Notice to Readers

Dear Readers and Community,

I have been notified by my host provider that the experienced a hacking even on 7/9/2009 which hit a number of servers - including the one my site is hosted on. This is the message from my provider:

WARNING: During a short period of time during the attack, your site may have been redirected to a malware page promoting a "Web Accelerator" program. This file contains a virus identified as "Backdoor.Win32.VanBot!IK." Though the exposure time was very short, (less than 30 minutes) there is a possibility that users may have downloaded it. I would suggest informing your users of this and recommend that they run a virus scan and take measures to ensure their system is clean if they happened to download it.

While I do not believe that my site was hit by this, it is a good idea to run a scan of your computer.
