Your host should have had complete backups that could have been restored in minutes.

IMHO, as always.


....and no one has 167 sites simultaneously hacked. Your HOST was the one attacked, because he was not properly doing his job....

IMHO, , just the same as above...

Of course. The entire server farm was attacked. And he had backups, as did I.
It's simply time-consuming to restore. And it was done. Back to more important stuff. Got a few hundered plants to put in. biggrin.gif

Oh, in minutes? No. Won't bore you with the hack details.
Precautions have been taken, We'll see.
