Dreamhost compromise....
from Dreamhost:

Quote:
We're still working to determine how this occurred, but it appears
that a 3rd party found a way to obtain the password information
associated with approximately 3,500 separate FTP accounts and has
used that information to append data to the index files of customer
sites using automated scripts (primarily for search engine
optimization purposes).

Our records indicate that only roughly 20% of the accounts accessed -
less than 0.15% of the total accounts that we host - actually had
any changes made to them. Most accounts were untouched.

This has happened to many sites on many different hosts over the past couple years. Usually it's the iframe ad being placed in the index file that you hear about.
