I hope this is the right place for this, but I visited one of the HTML pages on my forum and my antivirus software notified me of a threat. I checked the code and noticed there were a few lines of code added to this HTML page that I did not put there. I am the only one that has access to these pages. Any ideas on how this happened and how to prevent it from happening again?

Re: Malicious code
I removed it and it's fine now, but how did it get there if I didn't put it there? Do you think my account got hacked?

Re: Malicious code
I don't think so, you might have added it by mistake while you added some third party code.

Re: Malicious code
That's what I thought as well. I went to the website that I initially got the third party code to see if those lines were in there and they were not.

Re: Malicious code
Well possibly, can't really confirm what it could have been the cause.
Solved?

Ok, just thought I would ask just in case anyone had ever heard of this happening before. Go ahead and mark this as solved.
Thanks.
