If your defenses weren't up, you've been had.
The "gallery" uses exploit.HTML.Hmt
Can't tell you the number of times I've had to clean my PC and in somecases rebuild it as a result of checking galleries. Nothing is as good for bookmarks as hijacking the surfers PC.
If I list all my defenses, then someone will be sure to find a way to fuck with me. This has happened before on GFY. My black list has grown over the last few months.
There are some tools you can be using if not doing so already. They include:
Spybot
Hijackthis
Very good antivirus software (Kaspersky comes to mind)
Anti Hijacking software and/or firewall (MS by itelf is NOT enough)
You need to be behind a hardware firewall in addition to a software firewall
All firewalls should be operating in stealth mode.
Stay upto date on all MS patches.
Look at code in galleries. Do random checks after the approval process.
Check your trades for malware, they may not be aware they have it. Check deep into you trading partners site. Esp sponsor ads. If you find malware on entering the site, you of course have to delete the trade. If it is a friend - communicate.
Autoscan your galleries every day. If you have a large number, just scan the galleries on your site or a different category every scan. Scannig can eat a ton of time.
Don't accept galleries with javascript.
Setup a PC just for reviewing galleries.
Have more than one PC to get out of jams. Those PCs should be able to look at galleries with with IE, FireFox and AOL. An apple computer in the invironment wouldn't hurt.
Can't trust partners or sponsors 100%. So you have to check as much as you can as often as you can and they are still gonna get ya.
Good luck. Don't know if that helped any??
