The malware in UtilityBase is a script src reference to a site that no longer exists. (It's not accessible from my ISP, anyway.)

I'd be happy with any forum with a PRE-compatible format tag. Syntax highlighting and standarized indenting would be cool, too.

It was taken down because of hosting Neosploit Toolkit content. However, it is only the 2nd URL that is broken, the actual script src URL works. Thus the attack could easily be made functional again...

Yes, and I'm sure the authors are waiting for a fresh, undocumented exploit to abuse.

Even more worrying is the fact that someone is able to modify the site content at will.

What makes you sure it wasn't placed there by the site or hosting administrators in the first place? Buffy said it best: "... there's definitely something unnatural going on here. And that doesn't usually lead to hugs and puppies."

First, any site can be made to be secure.

No. All any developer or administrator can do is manage risk.

Perhaps, but it's not of much value to anyone who doesn't hold a grudge against the ten or so developers that still use it.
