Quote - I was shocked! I would have never in a million years think that someone from here would be that low -- I am so sorry to think that -- but hey -- the problem is fixed form the site.

It happens every once in a while when WP is updated.  It took a few minutes to fix, but I still have to do some extra security measures. Again, sorry for that.

 

Quote - Not your fault on that hacking, I would imagine the ISP got hacked and into your site among others. 

Yeah, I know.  Sometimes WP is a pain in the butt.

Quote - yeah, I looked at the 3dfineries site and the first one sez "posted by admin".  apparently the red hat team hacks into wordpress blogs using security flaw in registration username field.  I dunno how to fix it.  maybe wordpress has got a security update after apr. 16.

Yeah, I had to go into my PHP & change stuff & delete users.  I'd love to find a new Blog or CMS platform that would work for me.  Too many loop holes in WP's security.

Have a creative day!
