Yes, this happened to me yesterday...after the redirect my computer and Internet had some minor issues, so I ran an anti-virus anti-spy-ware scan ... sure enough, after this took place I was infected with a backdoor Trojan called backdoor.bifrose. Its a very nasty Trojan. After hours of running stuff and manually deleting things I (think) I got rid of it. Wallah! photobucket works again. After all of this, I went on photobuckets forums to post a warning about this happening, but the admins there continually shut down, locked, and deleted my posts.
I told them that if they weren't going to release a formal statement about the potential risk to all the users affected by the redirect...the least they could do was to allow users to warn each other on the forums. Their reply was that I'd made my statement, and if anyone had anything else to say on the subject that it should be emailed to photobucket ...where I'm sure it will be read and deleted along with 4 thousand similar emails. Bottom line, photobucket doesn't care about the security of its users. Perhaps if they'd handled it differently they could be forgiven for their lack of secure servers...but the fact that they censor warnings about potential risks to peoples computers and sensitive information on them is ridiculous.
There are two sites discussing this issue... the first one I'll list gives steps on getting your photobucket to work again (if you weren't infected.) The other is a general discussion on it at ZDnet.... My suggestion to anyone affected by this, run a deep scan w/anti-virus and a deep scan w/more than one antispyware programs...just to be safe.
