Seems that the storm has passed and its just a matter of mopping up the debris.
I've changed my password after deleting all board cookies. I use this online service to generate a knotty random 12-digit mixed case and symbols password. A search will return a raft of similar sites - note: there should be no need to download and install an application to do this ever! It's advised by those in the know that everybody change their passwords every three months or so just as a matter of personal security, so if you haven't done this yet perhaps now is the time to start. I keep all my passwords in plain text file dumped into an encrypted folder on a usb-stick. This kind of belt and braces approach is also good practice, and there are many free encryption programs out there, and most mid-high end usb-sticks have them already installed on their products. If you have one of these products and haven't taken advantage of it yet, again, perhaps this is the time to think about doings so.
Also, although the evil adz man, or woman, seems only to have inserted a redirecting javascript into the forum template it might be worth just checking over your board preferences in the user control panel to make sure everything is as it should be. Everything is fine for me, but you never know so go and have a look.
Other than that I think its safe to say that we live to fight another day.
