We have recently been subject to attacks by hackers which we have been investigating for a couple of days. The main problem seems to have been hackers bypassing security on several web forums on the server which allowed them to generate large numbers of spoof registration emails which the server was then sending out as if a legitimate user had requested registration.
We have now disabled access to the forums in question, since the site owners were not actually using the forums. If you notice any unusual activity, particularly spam originating from any forum or blog scripts, please inform us as soon as possible.
