I really hate it when it happens to me. Come to think of it, no cialis online pharmacy one likes their website being hacked into and losing all their data. A potential client messaged me this afternoon saying that he cannot view my portfolio site. Astounded, I went over to my website to take a look. It came as a shock to me. The entire website (with WordPress as the CMS) is changed.
My old website…
is hacked into…
Immediately I went into the WordPress admin and found that I could not log in at all. After accessing the mysql tables I found this
The hacker himself has left something which I can identify him by (vicyland[at]gmail.com). His website and profile are as cytotec kamagra supplier dosage below:
Order Generic Levitra Super Active+ Online without Prescription page 1″/>
i need to buy propecia ref=”shadowbox”>
From China, Hebei Province, 20 years old Male, studying buy antibiotics online in Hebei Medical University. What you have to say about breaking into other people’s intellectual property?
xD, your website is so interesting that attract Chinese Hacker’s attention. Suggest you back up your data at certain time, and enhance security of your site. I’m developer in Shanghai.

I wonder why he did it at all… you seemed to gain back control immediately. What did you do to the guy? Did you report him or anything?
Really. Please tell. =/ You just got us visitors more curious…

@Tod, tinyfox:
Thanks I’ll take your advice to heart.
@Mary:
Nope currently I did not do anything except writing on this blog.
@Dulce:
Since you know English, it will be much easier for me to communicate without typing in Chinese.
1) There are many WordPress installations out there. And yet only mine has this problem? Rin-wendy.com is also using the same webhost and same webspace as with littlevault.com, but only littlevault.com has this problem?
2) What you did, intentionally or not, is defacing another party’s website. You might think “Oh it is a server problem, I was there at the wrong time and it happened.” Truth is, no matter what intentions you have, the site is still defaced by you.
It is like playing ball games at a neighbourhood field, you throw the ball a bit too far and break a neighbour’s window, do you still try to cover up the incident to say things like “oh it is the wind, the fengshui, the shape of the ball”?
3)Both parties, me and you suffer loses. For me, my data and some potential clients and for you, negative reputation over a small sphere in the worldwide web. Cause and effect my friend, whether we like it or not.
4)I do not view my handling of this matter as too rushed without putting much thoughts into it. Come to think of it, why didn’t you email me when such a major thing happened? Keeping mum about it only increases the doubt in the credibility of your innocence. If you deface some other major websites by accident, I am sure that you will be prepared to see a lawyer’s letter, not just a rant post on a personal blog.

@adrian lee
from Rin’s latest comment, it appears that Dulce is the person who ‘accidentally’ hacked the portfolio site.
I think Dulce is claiming something about both of them being victims of a bad host or wordpress installation or something.
But don’t quote me on that. I don’t understand Chinese. =/ Just picking up context clues… *points at Rin’s comment*
It seems that that is the reason Rin wouldn’t pursue the issue. =) Because the other party claimed innocence. he’s just ranting his frustrations on this blog post.

So Rin this is a web hosting issue you had with your and this other guys database conflicting with each other? Or was this some exploit in WordPress itself?

What is it with China and hacking American sites?!!
I work for a web development firm and a hospital site, which is impossible to find unless you live in the area and know the name, was hacked and the DB was corrupted.
Insane. Sorry to hear about your problems.

Hello Rin,
I’m sorry to hear such a hack. I don’t speak in Chinese but a quick translation of Dulce’s first comment says:
If I trust what Dulce said, this a rare problem in WordPress, someday your database will get a problem and WP will throw the installation file in front of you.
See this link: http://perishablepress.com/press/2009/05/05/important-security-fix-for-wordpress/
I think adding .htaccess password to the wp-admin folder will solve the problem, so no one will have the ability to re-install your server!

I think you should back up your wordpress files sometimes to prevent the lost of data if someone hacks your websites again. Wish you luck! Hope the site will be back!

I just read somewhere that there’s a bug in wordpress that someone can just get to your wordpress installation script and reinstall your blog and then gain imediate admin access.
You need to delete the install.php script inside wordpress after successful installation.
If you don’t delete the file anyone will be able to reinstall your wordpress.

hey, rin,
it’s very ridiculous~~
i know that guy who hacked your site…
but from my perspective, he is not that kind of person, and additionally,he is not that capable…
you can visit my web site, and find him.
He always leaves comments at my blog.
