It was all hand coded bespoke stuff, so no CMS with any sort of open expolit. It's not so much a hack as a virus infection that inserts iframes into web pages. It spreads by exploited a buffer problem in older versions of Adobe. Once you are infected (like my clients IT guy became) and login to a site with FTP the virus activates and pools your sites data. It then becomes fair game to anybody else that has the infection to alter your website. If you browse using IE, don't have the latest version of Adobe (or at least a patched version) then there's every chance you'll pick this up sooner or later.

A lot of people are telling me my blog has been hacked and is downloading malware on their computers, but I can't see it myself despite the many clean installs I've conducted. Always update to the latest version of every software/script/program. I’m having this problem at the moment.
