TechBuzz Hacked!!

Earlier tonight all my blog including TechBuzz was hacked a Turkish hacker who goes by the name iSKORPiTX. He is the same guy who hacked Shoemoney’s blog. According to SecurityProNews, He is thought to be a 45-year-old Turkish man. Since 2003, he’s hacked an estimated 117,000 websites read more >>

This is the first time I’ve been hacked. I’m not sure how he gained the access to my blog, but he didn’t delete my data, he just replaced the index.php file. I’ve learnt a lesson from this episode. Thanks to Hans for finding out that my blog was hacked.

PS: My personal blog is still under repair, I’ll get back to you ASAP.

  • Ajay & Thilak, the email problem has been fixed.
  • nice, I could be of help to you. I think now plugins developers should be cooking something to prevent hackers access to our blogs, like Bad Behavior does for spam bots ;) I'm still pondering how he got access to your blog. Do you think he got access by hacking your ftp account, or maybe he used something to direct your domain to another index.page??

    *wow* 117,000 that's a lot.....hasn't he been apprehended yet after so much damage?
  • Ajay: You still don't get Email Notifications ?
  • if he hacked everything on the server, then your server is extremely insecure.

    Running a VPS is helpful then. I've got it very highly secured :)

    Haven't been hacked, yet...

    BTW, I'm not getting any of your subscription emails.
  • CypherHackz: No, He hacked all blogs and websites on my server.
