    We got hacked once through a vulnerability in AW Stats software... You should find out what the cause was before you decide to move..

    • thats just the thing i dont know how it happened or where to start.PIITB
    • Depends on what type of hosting... If you don't control add-on software, then I think you have to ask them how it happened..(like all the possible scenarios)ribit
    • ..how it could have happened..(like all the possible scenarios)ribit
    • and google the code, look for discussions about other people who got hit, etc..ribit
    • of course when we got hacked it was a defacement hacking, so they left their name, which helped...ribit
    • we then found we were like 2000 on their list of hacks...ribit
