When you google Hacked by TS, your site is on the first page. Next pages show more websites infected with the hackers` logo. The websites seem random. On some of them it is written - from Turkey.
Strange enough, there is nothing more about it on the Net, so it must be some new group who plays with websites.
It probably means you will have to improve your site`s security after you restore it.

Pawian,
thanks for doing the search, it is interesting because I also tried to find more info about the hacker but I could not. I wonder whether this did not happen some time ago when the description of my old website changed....this happen when my domain name expired. now the description of the old website (culture.polishsite.us) is back the same but the new website (www.polishsite.us) is hacked. It makes me wonder.... why I spent in the past so much time to maintain, update etc... the website when it is so easy to hack it. I pay for maintaining the website to the outside company, hope they can fix it. Only source was hacked, the content is still there.

Jaga, you certainly need to let the company that hosts your website know that you've been hacked. It should be an easy enough matter to restore your content, if you still have it saved, but you also need to do something about security. Now that your site is known around the world as an easy site to hack, it will happen again unless you start fighting back and defending your site.

Website is back. Only the confiuguration/source codes were changed. Luckily I did not lose the new articles which were uploaded recently. Marek Urban helped. Now it is for me the time to learn more about joomla and keep current updates.

Hi Everybody, I am back again. I have been hacked and lost everything. Had to start all over. Ann Maria Welcome back I am very sorry to hear of your being hacked, it so appears this is becoming an unpleasant normality. Perhaps the worse is over as you have survived the storm. Perhaps now, with clear weather/calm seas/ and a fair wind. Good sailing should be yours to the horizon. Karl
