I've been unhappy since the holidays begin and now I find this.
I bought a domain a year ago and have posted only one article. I've been really lazy and not checking the site. Well I went to it today and got a nice picture of a silhouetted soldier, a message saying hacked by some guy. Guess it's his calling card.
Followed by questions and then answers like What is Islam? History of Islam, etc. Then, This is for my brethren around the world.
Finally, Sorry Admin. Your site has been hacked. Have a nice day.
So now I'm running an antivirus scan to see if visiting my site infected me and trying to find a backup of my content.
Isn't that a lovely New Year's discovery? Anyone else ever have their site hacked?
I don't have a website but they're just trying to irritate you in a juvenile way so don't get too upset about it, just do what needs doing and put it past you. And have a lovely 2011 things will get better.
Was there any content that could possibly have caused them to crack your site? Or was your website one of the many at your hosting company that got cracked? Either way it's bad news to start this new year
Web Host is fine. hacker left a name of F.T.P Hacker, so I'm assuming it was an FTP hack. It's very irritating but I'm fixing the issue.
At least I did not have the site monetized.

Is America "at war" with radical Islam?The partisan argument between the left and the right on President Trump's immigration ban boils down to whether people see it as a ban on terrorism or a ban on Islam. The one question each of us need to answer before choosing a side appears to...
