Quote from the web site above:

"Dreamhost Hacked ★
Dreamhost, in a letter to over 3,500 shared hosting customers:

WeÅfre still working to determine how this occurred, but it appears that a 3rd party found a way to obtain the password information associated with approximately 3,500 separate FTP accounts and has used that information to append data to the index files of customer sites using automated scripts (primarily for search engine optimization purposes).

Sites that were hacked got a bunch of spammy links inserted into their index.php and index.html pages, in an HTML block that started with <u style display: none>. Dave Shea got hacked, as did a bunch of the readers who contributed to his comments. Shea wrote to Dreamhost and their tech support blamed him. Crooked Timber got hacked four days ago."
