Website hacked - Wordpress
Had an interesting one yesterday. I had a WP install on a site which I had played with but then ignored, so not updated. A serious hack via WP then took place with a php file placed in the root and all sub domain index files modded to direct to nasty 'Muslim' and other violent sites by 'Hacked by Hilter'.
WP now removed..................

I helped someone host a website once. Part of that website was a forum. The forum idea never really took off, but was left there growing cobwebs "just incase". Lesson learnt the hard way when I received a phone call one morning from officialdom asking why links to kiddie stuff was found.
Turns out the abandoned forum had been taken over by undesirables.
