In short we have suffered an SQL injection, where there some rouge code has been inserted into our database and we're getting these redirects.
On a positive not there has been no personal data breech but it's a bloody pain to root out, the last time this took me 12+ hours to get through and address, I hope to have this resolved and beef up the mesures I had in place to prevent such attacks.
It's a combination of bad luck and a the fact while we are running the latest security patch on the forum we are still running a version that is over a decade old. By it's very nature it's age makes it vulnerable, I've asked for some assistance from a friend who knows more about back end development to help mitigate against the inherent vulnerability we currently have,
