Hi everybody, I am sorry that I have been absent AGAIN, it wasn't just Technogrammaton that was Hacked but every single site hosted on a new shared server, because the sites had only just been moved onto the new HACKED server I was told that there were NO backups by the hosts...
Of course the hosts insisted to me that it was only TG that got hacked until, courtesy of a friend, I was able to give them a URL with a whole list of the sites that were hacked on their servers, their next comment was "Well nobody else has complained" which is surprising since so many of those sites, that were listed, were in a state of fresh install and devoid of content dating to prior the hack attack when I went to visit them...
And this was not a silly prank Hack either, this hack injected code directly into each sites home directory on the server which replaced files with garbage that it was very hard to remove...
I do apologise to all my friends that lost their logins and their posts but I had to do a complete site reinstall including installing a fresh install of SMF (Upgraded from the 1.1.17 or whatever it was, to the latest 2.x.x...
I still owe Smokes his bottle of Rum too 
I've argued before to the host that the vulnerability wasn't my end but theirs, and they still argued blindly that it was my set up that was at fault. At the time I was hosting about 7 sites that were all hacked so they would have had to get in via my master domain that didn't even have a site installed, so hacking that would be miraculous.
Conferring with dweez he'd suggested that I may have a text file on my comp with all my logins and it was
my computer that had been hacked and these sensitive details acquired. I did have a text file it was true, so I gave them the benefit of the doubt and stopped arguing.
I never found any sign of a virus or trojan on the comp in question (this one I am using at present), and back then it was sandboxed 99% of the time - I just plugged a wifi dongle in occasionally to update software.
I have been guilty of being lazy with security since, so any moral high ground I may have had is now below sea level.
