WHY???? WHY PEOPLE??
4 of my sites that have reference to my name were hacked, everything was deleted to the T, they didnt delete the databases for some reason but man! why do people do that?
ANy of you in the hack business give me an explanation

how do you know they were hacked and not a hardware or software failure on the server?
did they email you and tell you they deleted all your shit?
besides, most script kiddies don't delete shit they add it. they store warez on your box.

good point, I guess I am just guessing for the fact that I am hosting several sites in the same box and only the domains that reference to my name directly had everything deleted all the others remain untouched.

if you uploaded things to your server, they must have come from somewhere right? can't you just re-upload again?
no hacker i know spends all the time hacking in just to delete things. hacking is for a purpose. it would be like spending the time breaking into a bank only to take all their pens.
i would contact your server and see if they can't tell you if someone logged in or not, or if it was a problem on their end.
hopefully you had everything backed up.
try harder passwords in the future. shtuff like using $ for s's and 0's for o's and max out the number of characters you can use.

there is a firefox extension that generates random passwords.
i use it all the time for our servers.

before you do that....call your host....and if they make backups...they may have the last known backup saved....
tell them to restore.... if its your own box.... sorry
