A few years ago, I made a lovely website for the members of my Jewish womens choir. I originally did it using website design template from ivillage. When that went under, it was transferred to Tripod. At some point, I discovered "short URL's"
Before my choir put out it's debut CD, my well meaning sons, told me that I could transfer my site to this re-direction site, giving me a sleeker looking web address, so I did it.

About a year ago, the site started acting very strangely, shooting out weird looking messages, in what seemed to be german, including the name of the choir.

Last year was a crazy year for me, I was pregnant again, after an 8 year gap, and it was just very busy, so when the site started acting up, I stopped updating it, and unfortunately, have not been using it.

Today, 2 kind women from imamother alerted me to the fact that my choir website has somehow turned into a terrible, horrible, PORNO website. Even I who consider myself not so insulated, couldn't even look to the end of it.
OMG, if my 14 yr old, got a hold of this, he would probably be calling all of his friends to look, and my poor, innocent yeshiva bochur (17) would probably faint.

I guess I must have been hacked.

What should I do?
If you can help me, PLEASE... or do you know of someone I can ask?

This is so awful, I feel sick. All of the 500 CD's we produced have this address on it.

I need to do something, but I have NO idea what.

I don't think imamother is equipped for this - you need a professional to clean up your site - it happened to my workplace, too.

You are probably using a site program that has special permissions set up in it's root or database directory. This is what happens with IUSER permissions, which is why I never give it to my clients on my server. You need to stay away from using wiki based sites, switch to wordpress

Can the host revert the site by 2 months?
