Hi Munawar, The first time we were hacked was when we were on Brandon's site as a subdomain. We only had one FTP account for all members and couldn't change any access permissions. We then moved to Bluehost where our files were relatively safe for a while, until financial difficulties sent me over to Shane's hosting business. Not only were we hacked, but also various scripts run on my website didn't work like they did elsewhere. When finance allowed we moved back to bluehost. Once again our files were safe, until February when Acefire was released, and with it, the registration system. The first hack I constantly heard back from was my registration index page, which I put up there for people who were trying to view the registration directory. After that I had a complaint from someone who was also hacked on my site. No real harm was done, all that happened was that two empty folders had been put up on his site. The final straw was last week when I saw that my homepage had been totally deleted, giving visitors access to not only all directories, but also the server files, and found chunks of my site either corrupted or completely removed. Regards, Damien
