I would like to apologize to what happen in my blog awhile ago. I’m hacked by an evil man! I don’t have any idea how did it happened. He messed my files and add some stupid codes for hacking. Just few hours ago, my index became like this:
He changed my index, and my other theme files. Whoever hacker you are, I curse you. Great that I got backups and I was able to restore everything. Hope this won’t happen again to me and to other blogger.

Yes. Thank You. But I’m still nervous that the hacker have still access to my sites.
I was also able to restore space-ed.com Everything is fine now.
“hacker have still access to my sites” then u need to take proper care of it frd … Don’t b nervous and make ur blog fully secured a.s.a.p and if possible take help from someone who can get u out of this man.
I have contacted Hostgator and they suggested my to change my passwords . I have changed all my passwords into stronger one after I have noticed I have hacked by this stupid evil hacker. Hope everything is now secured

Bad, human. If they never announce you about the security hole, they are not hackers but crackers.

Hey Hussein,
Welcome back friend. I must to keep backup from now.
Thanks Murad. You must. You can try the wordpress plugin for auto backup. :c
Nice to find you.
And know you that you were able to get recovered so quickly.
It reminds me to be more careful with my backups.
This is a timely reminder for me to back-up my files. Those idiots have really nothing better to do than to hack others’ sites.
I’m glad you fixed it back.

Yeah. You better use the wordpress plugin that do auto backup to make it easy for you.

Anak Medan, thanks for mentioning the plugin. I have just installed it yesterday and did a security scan in my blog.
Good to see that the hacker hasn’t had a permanent impact on your site. Glad to see it back to normal
Thank You Mike.
Came across your blog and read this.
Wow! What a bitter experience you got!
And that sparks my intention to backup, now!
and how to make a security scan to a blog?
download a plugin.
wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-security-scan
Just go here when I read on your other post about getting hack, they are only can hacking our site if know our username and password right? I mean do they use some script of program to break a code?
@Halim - The last computer I used before I was hacked were from a computer shop in a shopping mall. What I think is that the computer was affected by a trojan and that might be the reason how did they know my passes.
When I checked my theme codes, there were some inserted php codes which I can’t understand.
Glad to know that you have back ups.

Thank you Hussein for cautioning us. I am right now commenting from an Internet Cafe. I am afraid that there might be threat for my blog also. I lately realised that the system which I am using is infected by trojan horse and some other viruses.
This I came to know by openning Task Manager, which suddenly dissapeared in few seconds. I will change my passwords immediately I go home.
