Sad to say that a few wordpress sites on my gs-hosted MT account got hacked with the javascript injection thing. Made for a terrific start to my weekend.
MT claims it is not their fault, and I do pretty much believe them on that. I certainly do not know enough about hosting environments to make any kind of conclusion on my own.
The cleanup was relatively simple, but I had to do it to many different sites so it became tedious.
In my opinion, I don't think preventing hacks is 100% possible, so I try to make sure to keep both my files and my database backed up regularly. That way when the shit hits the fan, I don't go into complete panic mode.
And Airey - as for that backup plugin you listed... I used to use that one until recently when I noticed that the automated backups stopped working. I think it has something to do with the newer version of wordpress.
But just today I found at new one at http://wordpress.org/extend/plug… and tested it out and it looks to be good.
Hope this helps some of you guys out there.
