Have I Been Hacked?

    Got two sites down. Can’t FTP into either. The backend loads but then gets weird. So does the front end. I click on my “Home” link and get 404 errors sometimes. Other times I get sent to a link like this:

    https://www.robwestbrook.com/RbpoR/WVMNS/TcOPW/

    Of course those directories don’t exist. I suspect I’ve been hacked. Never been hacked before so not sure.

    Don’t know if you’ve been hacked but your site is definitely broken.

    Here’s the cached copy of your page. The current webserver is sending just this page (when it sends anything):

    <html><head><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0"></head></html>

    Talk to your host provider and ask them what’s going on.

    Edit: scratch that, you seem to be up now.

    Thanks for checking. Yeah, the frontend is up for now. Going to the admin, I get this link:

    Still can’t FTP. GoDaddy is my host. They’re looking into it, at least that’s what they said 3 hours ago.

    Turns out it was a hosting (godaddy) problem. Here’s the reply from support:

    We have reviewed your issue, and found that the server your account resides on was under network protection on the day that you wrote into us with the information we requested (Nov. 23). It is this protection that appeared to have been causing the issues you were experiencing when typing in the URL of your site in your browser and when establishing a FTP connection.

    Appreciate their help.
