    http://whymyblogstinks.com is a blog I read regularly. Just discovered that the mainpage of the blog was hacked. Other post pages are still available.

    Just curious to know why hackers like to target blogs.:rolleyes:

    Simply because the morons who hack blogs dont have much brain cells to learn how to properly hack and instead use easy back door windows that can be learned on different forums.

    I got hacked with the same shit for brains that attacked that site you posted. He simply replaced the index files of the themes to show that stupid statement - there is supposed to be an image on there but he couldnt even get that right :rolleyes:

    Are you able to contact the owner via one of their pages that is available? They probably dont know that the index page of theme needs replaced with an original copy.

    Looks as if he stopped blogging in August, pity because it looks like a good blog.

    I hate this thing.

    Before some years I left an XSS hole in my server, and a kid from Brazil defaced 350 sites in one minute!

    Thanks to the backups the damage wasn't serious, but this thing is really bad to happen. Especcially when you have some high traffic web sites.
