My domain got hacked!
A friend called this morning to tell me my domain, Lavender Lounge dot com got hacked. When I checked, sure enough, there was an image of a gnarling dog and this text:
.:[ LegijaOne Ownz you! ]:.
.:[ by FDCR3W ]:.
.:[ H3LLdOgz on the NET! ]:.
I opened my ftp program and found that my "index.html" file had been renamed "xxxindex.html" and there was a new file named "index.php" with that image imbedded.
All I needed to do was delete those weird files and re-load the right file, and it seems to be alright for now.
I called my host, Webair, and they are checking for security leaks.
I am curious to find out the how's and why's. Has this happended to any of you before?
