Hi Ben
I'am glad that I could help. Formtools is a very stable and innovative tool. Such a hack can happen to everybody handling php on his site and has nothing to do with Formtools itself as a script. As I can see, you have investigated in detail and take very quick actions to inform the users. That's not self-evident for every developer. All webmasters who uses active scripts must always have an eye on security, so don't worry too much about the inconvenience you might have caused. Thanks for your information and actions.
Kind Regards
Dirk

I've made a post outlining the problem, why it happened, who's affected and how to fix:

I'm going to be spending the next few days examining every last nook and cranny of the site (as well as replacing my Wordpress installation with a totally new one) to prevent this from happening again.
