    Some details:

    The host is HostGator
    The hack:
    somehow, DZ-Ghost uploaded a php shell file
    then from that point – they went thru and changed all of the index files
    (like samboll stated)

    I dont know how – but it appears, from the logs; that a 404.php was uploaded

    What bothers me – is that if someone can upload that kind of php/shell – what’s stopping them from uploading Haxplorer and really doing some damage

    Mostly I just would like to know – how they uploaded anything – so I can become better at security……..

    i found this one today
    https://www.fahlstad.se/wp-plugins/wp-forum/
    if you use the admin area to upload and install this plugin
    IT WILL BLOW OUT YOUR SITE

    HOWEVER –
    If you upload via FTP
    Then activate thru the admin panel
    EVERYTHING works fine

    At first I was not happy with it
    But once I got it running
    It’s exactly what I was looking for
