(Note, I had to s/46/2e on the IP as clamav sees the message as a potential phish/virus with that IP range in it (MBL_202716.UNOFFICIAL))

Looking at this users login history (the host is where our users save their personal webpages) it would seem the attacker had logged in multiple times from 2e.252.128.63 (times are GMT -500)

There also seems to be a lot of UDP communication to this IP from two of our other customers.  Looking at my argus logs, a few other of my customers are initiating odd connections to that IP. 

Also, 2e.252.128.15 seems to be involved somehow as well.  The user who had their account compromised visited 2e.252.128.15 on port 80...
