My Affiliate Section was Hacked Empty My Affiliate Section was Hacked

Not sure if I had someone hacked my Affiliate Section or if Forumotion did this their self (which I doubt).
I had this banner added to my affiliate list. My affiliate list is a scrolling marquee but this ad was just tacked on to the bottom and doesn't scroll with the rest of the banners.

I don't know if I need to report this here or somewhere else. I will leave it on my site for a day so it can be looked at if needed. Looks like all I have to do is delete the code and all will be back to normal. I just wanted to report it.

Here's all the info:

As it looks on my site:
My Affiliate Section was Hacked 4-29-201012-32-41PM

This is the code that was added:
Code:
<div align="center" style="text-align:center"><a href="http://www.gindis.com/AC/english/game.php?op=gindisgames&visitor=128&xlang=1">
<img src="http://i65.servimg.com/u/f65/11/55/53/84/gindis10.jpg" border="0"></a></div><div align="center" style="text-align:center"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.thefreedictionary.com/_/lookup.htm?2062">Free Website Content</a></div>

Here is the site it directed me to:

Is there an investigation about it?
As I would rather it didn't happen again. Razz

The same happened with our forum today, and we removed it.

So it was forumotion that put that ad in the widget?
