I have just realized that my website got hacked by some low life hacker who decided to insert links to some adult sites on my homepage.
This is truly unbelievable. I am very upset about it because the demage is done and my website has been already penalized by Google and striped from rankings.
Message to all you guys out there trying to work at home by running your own website: Check your html code on daily basis! I have found out about this too late and now I will suffer from the Google slap.
Someone just ruined all my hard work and did not accomplish anything by doing so. What a low life! I still don’t understand those type of people. If they actually applied their knowledge and skills towards something more productive they would make a lot more money.
I have fixed my website already, but I don’t think I will ever get it back to where it was. This is sad.

It’s too sad. Hope that everything goes better soon.
Wow – a sobering tale. 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.

Sorry to hear that. 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?
Cheers,

Hi all
My site is also hacked by someone called shadowturk and changed all my website product images. Can someone tell me how to correct this. Is reloading the only option.
thanks

I think it’s pretty new, but it’s solid.
My site got hacked – i have no idea how they did it but they managed to replace my index.html page on my server with their own hacked advertisement? 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?
There are so many ways to attack a website, it’s just not possible to cater for them all on a constant basis if you’re a small company, so the next best thing is to try and cover the most commonly found holes like the ones described in this article, and hope that puts off the intended attacker.
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.

Hope this helps someone.
