I have just put this site online. It has been off the air for quite a while - sorry.
I got the message from the host that malware had been detected, so they isolated the site so it couldn't do any damage. Unfortunately I was travelling for work when this happened and I didn't manage to make the time to work on it until now.
What happened? There was some little script that managed to get exploited in somehow. I don't think it did any damage and as soon as it was detected, the site was isolated. I cleaned it out and just to safe also did a restore to before it had happened, then uploaded fresh copies of all server side files that came clean direct from the software provider. It's been scanned again and shows clean.
Any posts made in late July might be missing, but otherwise, things should be mostly normal in here now.
Sadly there is no easy fix for this apart from constant vigilance and this is getting harder to do.
