PageFair have announce that they suffered a security breach on 31st October at 23:52 which lasted for just over an hour and prompted users to install a fake Adobe Flash update.

Whilst RTG were not using any scripts from PageFair at the time of the attack (and haven't used any since October 22nd) it does look like some of our users still have old versions of our web pages cached so could potentially have been hit by this. (Reports indicate that 94 visitors executed the scripts on October 31st and 102 visitors on November 1st).

In reality, anyone receiving old cached web pages would probably also have an old cached version of the scripts so it is highly unlikely they would be hit by the breach, but if you were on this site or any other website and were prompted to download an update for Adobe Flash on Saturday night AND downloaded that update you could be a victim.

That's 196 of you, I've managed to obtain debit card and Paypal details from. ;)
