Hongkiat.com defaced and hacked

defaced

Cely woke me from my dream telling me hongkiat.com was hacked and defaced. I totally did not see this coming, but it is entirely my fault that I did not upgrade to Wordpress 2.2.1 as soon as possible.

The Damages

The defaced messages sounds quite personal, it seems like the hacker has been following my entries. Besides defacement, the database was gone too but I managed to recover from a backup copy. Entries for the pass 2-3 days were gone.

I thank those who took the initiatives to inform me through e-mails, IMs, and text messages. It should be fine now. It hurts but lesson learned.
