BrandonSite Hacked
Brandoncornell.com which is on this server was hacked. I contacted 1and1 and hopefully my site will be up and running soon, this part of the site might loose data back to the 25th at noon, so be prepared.

How'd it get hacked? 1&1 will give you a backup within a few days.

My guess is CMSimple.

ToddRe:Site Hacked
Were the files for CMSimple still there or was everything gone? I'm just wondering so you can better protect yourself. I'd change your 1&1 account and FTP passwords just to be sure.

everything was gone.

Does CMSimple have a file manager? It sounds like someone got into your FTP account. Check the logs if you can to see who accessed it.

NO! Did I not tell you it was CMSimple! If it was FTP, they would have junked this site too!

Re:Site Hacked
I think that your CMS simple has some vulnerabilities to SQL injection. They might have put in a SQL command instead of password at login and replaced CMS database. I really don't think they got access to your FTP or anything, arabs can't do that,

CMSimple is flat file.
