    You can see the blog in question under my name( recent posts), please tell me how to get my site back, and will there be a lot of damage? There was no business acitivity, only a blog and a sub domain blog which I had yet to start. Will I be able to restore my posts?

    I agree with SanDiego, just restore your backup and you will get your contents back......I think there is no hacking business

    Make sure you change your passwords or they might try it again...

    Good luck :)

    Also try to figure out how your blog got hacked. Make sure their are no open bits to your website where a hacker can easily get access to your admin side of things.

    When the site was hacked, I was really angry and thought of writing a strong mail to the server admin, but then their support was very effective and things got settled soon and I forgot to ask them if it was at their end.
    Thanks Electro

    Restoring your site, just got your data back. It didn't fix the security you have or someone on your shared hosting service (if you're on a shared host) has.

    You might want to contact your hosting company and see if it has happened to someone else.

    You may want to update your blog's script and any plugins you may have used. Alway check G. for security alerts on the blog script you use.

    Definitely would be a good idea to try and find out how you were hacked. As just restoring the previous backup (although a good way to get back up and running) will not have fixed the security hole that was used to hack your site.

    Maybe they grabbed your password from somewhere else (do you reuse your passwords) otherwise it could be a vulnerable script or plugin in your blog.

    Good idea to check with your host to see if others were also affected - as this would indicate that the server was hacked and not just your account.
