ADOR! I love it! I always get excited when people have clever website names, too, since I fail at being that clever.

Also, I’d given my client different, secure passwords ( http://www.pctools.com/guides/password/?length=8&phonetic=on&alpha=on&mixedcase=on&numeric=on&punctuation=on&nosimilar=on&quantity=1&generate=true#password_generator ) for every database and every account. Everything was up to date.

That’s why it was so annoying to hear a lecture from GoDaddy that it was my fault for not doing those things.

OMG WHY DIDN’T I THINK OF THAT?

Just kidding.

That’s what worked for the first issue (fixed on Sunday night) but it *didn’t* work the second time through. Apparently that one came in, left a nasty little surprise, then deleted itself so that it could not be detected.

It was frustrating but I’m choosing to see it as a learning experience. :)

If it’s hosted on GoDaddy….why not just do a file restore from the history of a few days prior? That’s what I did and it seemed to clear it up and got rid of the offensive stuff.

But I also decided to change my database password.

I was away all weekend and so I didn’t even see that article or hear about this, but I was part of that hack, happened on the same day! oye. I’ll be reading that article more in-depth later on, thanks.
