We use an automated file system scanner called Eyefile. It's good for detecting any kind of backdoor injection - like the one executed on your site - and works for any kind of website.

How the hell did they do this without knowing my ftp details? I'm now worried they will target all my other websites - how have you managed to fix your site and prevent this from happening again?

Oh, I will follow Vincent's suggestion on reloading my site(s) on a daily basis. I never thought of that. Could you suggest any additional strategies to protect the HTML codes?

I've read others where hackers have done the same - and Google removed the site from their index. We have one site that has over 5,000 pages. It would be quite difficult to check the HTML on that one every day. I suppose it would be a good idea to reload your sites on a regular basis - that might work to prevent such a horrible thing from happening. Good luck to you. Vincent Harrison Wow – a sobering tale.
