some asshat (and lots of words that look similar to: $&^@&^() FTP hacked the client side of AVICC

some nasty scripts were added to some PHP and js files.

They have now been removed.

If you were affected by this asshat, I apologize.

I logged in a few times lately but didn't notice anything. So just for curiosity, what were the symptoms?

Chrome would throw a warning

FF would proceed as normal but most anti-virus would inform you the site was attempting to install something.
