[Update] Developer Network Hacked

It appears that all of the GoDaddy servers had a fun little virus editing PHP and HTML files.  I wrote a PHP-based virus protection program that I'll be running weekly on each site to repair any files infected in the future, but for now, all of the sites are clean and safe.  After only a few hours, each of the Alanaktion sites had been infected, but the changes were easy to repair.  Hopefully GoDaddy figured out their "problem" soon enough to stop it from rewriting every file in over 300,000 web sites...  that'd be bad news for them.
