Any info on how the cyber criminals managed to injected this exploit on the forums?
In most cases this is the result of a compromised password due to a virus-infected PC with a trojan Zbot....it would be interesting to see how this has happen... :)

I'm thankful this was just on the forum, Imagine the traffic this exploit would have got if it was on the Piriform main website home page.

It just goes to show any site can be hacked.
Avast, Eset and Microsoft Security Essentials was the first to detect this exploit.

Enjoy!!:D
