collectingsnapon hacked

As you may be aware already, collectingsnapon went down a couple of days ago. This web site was targeted by a hacker along with a lot of others on the same server.

It is frustrating, it is not about tools or anything else – it is a form of graffiti and has no purpose.

The defacement worked by replacing index files in all public_html
Directories with the attacker's index.php. It does not appear to be any more malicious than taking over the web site's home page.

I apologize for the frustration and confusion.
