Just a quick heads-up. My AVG is detecting a "Blackhole Exploit Kit (type 2726)" on trying to open the index page of the Forged in Battle website.

Unfortunately it's a pretty common redirection hack usually leading to backdoor Trojans and system exploits so its probably not just a false positive.

If anyone lacks robust virus protection I would suggest they avoid the site until someone gives an all clear.

Cheers for that. Might be worth dropping to guys at Westwind an E-mail to let them know they've been hacked. The websites not been updated in a while so they may not have noticed.

*tried* I actually just tried visiting the main West Wind page and got a warning as well. Hopefully they are already aware.

I did send them an email, although there's a good chance that with word like "website" and "hacked" in the text and title it actually won't get through there spam filters.

I'm sure they'll be aware of it by now though.

I'm getting the same thing here. I'd just joined their forum as well.

They seem to have fixed the problem now.

Front page is ok but the others I checked are still showing the malware warning. The forum has gone completely (404 error).

Their forums came back up a couple of days ago. IT looks like it's all sorted now.
