Something Really Weird Happened Today

    When I checked one of my blogs a few hours back, I was shocked to find that instead of the blog, there was an image hosting site which was loading. I suspected it got hacked and hence deleted the hosting account from my dedicated server. But still the image hosting site is loading. I then changed the name servers. Guess what! The same damn image hosting site is loading.

    This is the domain name.
    The site was a blog till last night.
    At present there is no hosting account since I just terminated the account
    The domain is with godaddy and has the right name server and has no forwarding

    Any suggestions on what is causing this issue and how to fix it?

    Yes,i see its a image hosting.
    I have experience this thing before,what i do to solve it is access the FTP,delete all the files,and then reupload again.And since i doing it,i never face the same problem again.
    Don't forget to clear your cache and cookies

    I did the same and it worked. I actually deleted the entire hosting account and re-created it. The reason I was still seeing the image hosting site after that was done, was because I forgot to clear the cache.

    I'm still wondering as to what caused it to happen. Probably some wordpress security flaw?
