Warnings from secure-validation.com appeared in the Apache logs. What does this mean?

Question

PHP

Good evening!
I have a question: the following warnings appeared in the Apache logs:

file_get_contents(http://secure-validation.com/showop.php?page=http%3A%2F%2Fsolarpvinvestor.com%2Findustry-news%2F858-hanwha-solarone-signs-memorandum-of-understanding-with-oneroof-energy-r-for-50-mw-module-supply):
failed to open stream: HTTP request failed!  
in /home/user/public_html/includes/defines.php(music) :
eval()'d code(1) : regexp code(1) : eval()'d code on line 17

I'm afraid it's some kind of virus. And it is completely unclear what kind of secure-validation.com is.
Can, who faced? I will be glad to any ideas.
Thank you for your attention

These are carders - they steal codes for bank cards.
