It seems that apart from shoemoeny's blog, there are other shoemoney's sites hacked. They are currently down.
It seems that these turkish hackers tried to use Shoemoney well known sites to spread some message against France.
 
Shoe gives more info in the threadwatch comments. He said he was hacked through phpbb2 not wordpress.

I don't know why people who use PHPBB don't keep their installs up to date/get on the mailing list for security info. It's not like PHPBB is new to getting hacked and isn't notorious for it. :censure: - KEEP THOSE INSTALLS UP TO DATE! :ticking:
 
yeah unfortunately my site got knocked out because of it as well....turkey assholes
but shoemoney.com is up now and its all good :)

I need a new home for my hosting now though...:(
 
As of now Shoemoney's site is back up and his forum has been converted to vBulletin. The gallery, however, is still down. He hasn't posted any information pertaining to hacking.

(I'm using Ubuntu so I didn't have to worry about the virus. ;) )
 
What would you do if your site got hacked? How do you reverse it?

Hope that you have your site backups running every night, and simply run a restore. Or, you find the hack/hack files, remove them, and patch up the software they hacked through.

You don't necessarily need new hosting, you just have to make sure and keep all your software up to date. PHPBB, Gallery software, guestbook software, all that junk!
