I can confirm this too.
I've had to get the web via my iphone's safari in order to avoid infection.
It seems to be a hijack with java applets at the web. Please be careful with this.
Mental note: do not abuse.

Would appreciate it if you could elaborate on the problem. The infected URL was a 3rd party URL, which was a concern to me. Especially since passwords are on the server although they're only investor passwords. I still have not added my live account and was wondering if I can rest assured about security.

Thanks.

There was a vulnerability in the version of our adverser, openX, which we were using. We've updated to the latest version to eliminate any threats.
Some major websites were affected, you can read about it here: https://www.techeye.net/security/openx-vulnerability-leaves-legit-sites-wide-open-to-attack

You can be sure that your account data is safe, since it's on a different server and stored in an encrypted format.
