Hi guys,
I was hacked today (last night).
They changed all the .htaccess files to redirect from their site if the visitor came from any search engine (including googlebot).
I am lucky i caught it today before any of my rankings were effected.
I want to know... how do you....
1) make sure you've solved the problem and closed any security holes. My host's support suggests running AV on all my files after downloading them to my computer... this a good idea?
2) Any tips on how to prevent this type of thing in the future?
ATM: i am thinking my FTP program was compromised?
Thanks!
