Hacked Again!
You know, in a way, it’s flattering. I got hacked again. This time my password got changed, and also the index.php file of my WordPress theme so that you would see a big ol’ “TurkHackTeam” page declaring how 733t they were. Why is it flattering? Because some schmuck(s) in Turkey (maybe? maybe not.) took the time to hack my site, ’cause you know it’s such busy site. I think I get…um…ten visitors a day, on a busy day – and most of them stay at my site for two or three seconds.
On the other hand, it’s kind of pathetic. Why is it pathetic? Because some schmuck(s) in Turkey (maybe? maybe not.) took the time to hack my site, ’cause you know it’s such busy site. I think I get…um…ten visitors a day, on a busy day – and most of them stay at my site for two or three seconds. Oh, wait…I just said that.
So, to the TurkHackTeam – nice job. You got in, you changed some stuff, and hey – the index.php file you swapped in actually was kind of nice – good design work and aesthetically pleasing. Pat yourselves on the back and move on to bigger challenges, ’cause hacking my site ain’t that impressive. It’s just annoying. And really – not many people are seeing the results of your handy work.
What’ll happen if you keep hacking my site? Nothing really. I’ve changed my password, deleted superfluous user accounts (there was only one other one), and taken a few other precautions. If you hack again, I’ll assume it’s a hole in WordPress and I’ll change my software. No big deal. Like I said, just annoying, and probably nobody is really going to notice besides a few friends of mine.

I’d check your FTP permissions on your web share.
;)
But the latest version always helps too – I think you’re on the right track.

you see, if you just talked about poop and stuff your site wouldn’t a been hacked. But since you are a computer geek now you are a target.
Its really too bad you don’t know who did it, or can’t find out bout them. You could sign them up for an Amway representative to visit.
