It rather depends on how exactly the site was hacked.If the hacker managed to plant some malicious code within the site then anyone logging in could inadvertently download the code.There is also the chance the hacker has harvested the email addresses and passwords of the members of the site,they could sell the email addresses to spammers.

Hi Trish,

I have had a bit of a prob this last few days with one of those facebook add on things, johnlambert sent me this PM thing and I ldownloaded it and it left a signing in box on my screen, which i could never sign into, but everyrthing went so slow and anything a clicked on, there was a long delay loading it! I have gone into add/remove progs in the control panel and removed it and everything is back to normal,

(not blaming John and I was hoping it would work but something was amiss, anyone else come across a prob with it, it's called Social IM I think.)
