How serious is it when a directory has been hacked? I have been submitting my site to a number of directories and I came across one which was allegedly hacked in Novmber 2007. How significant is the problem of a directory site hack? How does it affect websites that have submitted to such directories? BTW, I did not submit to that directory when I learned of that incident.
Hello... Well i wouldnt submit to that one being that the owner could care less about that directory site....Hacked in NOV 07 .... Evidently he didnt back up his database As for the sites that are included... i dont think any SE would punish them as its not their fault thx malcolm
It depends on the hacker. If the hacker attacked the database, then the submitted links will be lost, or the links will be still there. I got a hack attack in Nov 2007 also, and it just damage the php scripts. I changed the host and upload the phplinkdirectory script, copy the database, and it's ok then.
