Wet Place Hacked?

I went to Wet Place to get a recip and when I clicked my bookmark the page loaded and I got a Windows message "Click to run an active x control on this web page". I closed the message and decided to exit the site and try again and see if I got the same message. I couldn't get the page to load so I checked a few other bookmarks and couldn't get anything to load. I re-booted and everything is fine now. My anti-virus gave me a notice that a worm intrusion was blocked. If anyone has good anti-virus protection how about checking it out and see what you get.

Do you have any idea how they got it? Just wondering if there is anyway to prevent it.

Exactly, they sniffed ftp passes and update only index.html files
I guess they even didnt' know, which passwords they get.

My advise to all webmaster:
1) Use SFTP instead FTP
2) Allow SFTP connection from your IP address only
