Hacked off!

I went to check my website yesterday and discovered it had  been hacked, instead of the interface I was used to, it was a horrible black screen with some rather rude words scrawled on it in Chiller font, I got in touch with my host and they said they'd put it back, but now it comes up as an empty Word press blog, What had happened, was that when I wanted to edit it, I couldn't as I didn't have the software, so they made it accessible through a blog, but they've just screwed up IMO. I've got in touch with them again, so I hope it will be sorted. THEN............to-day I logged into my blog, this one, and it came up with a warning, that it could possibly be hacked,  If I'd logged on to and maybe uploaded material from Shabby Blogs.com which was known to be a carrier for malware. puff! But I decided to carry on and access my blog as I hadn't been on shabby blogs for a good while, and it seems to be OK, between all that, the horrible weather, Tango's operation, it's been a rough ride for a couple of weeks, Things can only get better. So I'm wishing myself
You can all share it.


Thank you for visiting and please come back, Arlene, Tango and Ruby

    1. Nor can I Terry, such a stupid waste of talent, they could out it to better use and may end up being another Berner's Lee. It's all sorted now, I think.

    2. Thank you Terry, you would think they'Tim d direct their talents into trying to become another Berners Lee, instead of messing things up, All sorted now anyhow. Thanks.

    1. Hi Kirsten, can't quite see the connection wither, unless too much salt makes you thirsty?? I think all is OK now. Thanks for calling. X

  7. Hi Arlene, finally got back to blogger for...a minute or two! lol ;) You've been having a rough time haven't you? Maybe a good idea to keep a closer eye on the hacked blog...they seem to know when you're not using them and target them for some reason. My security's blocked several serious attacks recently though mostly early hour of the morning ones when most people wouldn't be online so maybe that's why it was mine targeted. Have you changed the password on your hacked account now? I do hope things pick up again for you! :)

  8. I think I'll just delete the WP blog, as I don't bother posting on it. Never thought about changing the password. too late now, it's going. Nice to see you again. Hope you are well.
