Their problem could be your problem

It appears the website of an Ottawa recreation centre may have been the victim of a SQL injection attack that infected guests computers with a computer virus leaving them vulnerable to various nasties including spam, fraud or identity theft. The Ray Friel Recreation Centre was infected between May 14 - 21, 2008.

Those with up to date Anti-virus and spyware protection using Firefox or Opera browsers had little to fear but others may not have been so lucky. Mac users are safe ;-)

Remember, be alert because the world needs more lerts . . .
