I suggest you get into contact with your hosting company.

too short? your response is too short but I know the only reason you responded was to spam this forum with your text links. you should be banned.

what does my url have to with the question i asked, but for your info

My question is whether this script has some securtiy problems? Can someone access your host server from hacking the script?
Or is was my hosting account hacked?

It's very easy to tell if someone is using this script and you can go to the login by typing /admin. I don't know how hackers work but i assume it starts somewhere there or through some known security hole with a script. And then probably accessing account info or something stored in admin files.

you have got to be kidding...
Anyway, i wanted to know the URL to see the message myself.
The script has no known security biugs, maybe you were careless with your ftp password.

Nice site :)

Did you do as I had suggested to do as far as getting into contact with your hosting?

About 2 months ago, there were a few directories that got pretty much the same treatment you had to unfortunately go through. Basically all they can change is the index.php file. It's not script related. We can vouch for that much. It appeared to be hosting issues with servers not being stable and protected. How they went about doing it I have no clue. It just happened.

Anyway, I am glad to see you up and running again.
