I had mine hacked last year (I didn't have a good password and someone figured it out) I had someone run a script that added malicious code to all my index.html pages. And since they were classic car and vintage VW sites we had hundreds of index pages for all the photo galleries of each car! Let's just say the web hosting company was useless in fixing it - I had to manually re-upload all the files one by one. Not fun. Bottom line, use secure passwords! :) Thanks for putting together a comprehensive guide JT - wish I had that last year. :) .-= John @ Sunset Classics´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.sunsetclassics.com/1971-vw-beetle-tradeshow/" rel="nofollow">Unique 1971 VW Beetle Half Original Half Restored</a> =-.
