Tech Hive

Tech Hive was hacked twice for the past 2 days for some whatever stupid reason. Surprisingly, I didn’t find myself cursing those weirdos to death. This is the third time that my site was hacked. The first one was when some Indian guy was able to get into my cpanel and put a redirection script in my index.php file. I was so mad that I tracked the IP address and emailed the people involved (the owner of the site that was redirected to, the owner of the IP address and the contact person of the ISP. I got a response from both the owner of the site and the IP address. Guess what they said?

Yep, apparently, they have nothing to do with it. And they have no reason to do it.

Right.

Now, the no-good-yellow-bellied-so-called hackers left their email addresses and I’m so sick and tired that I didn’t even bothered emailing them. Yesterday, they just deleted my index.php file and replaced it with their index.html file. I deleted the file and put my index.php back and took no action about it because I thought it was just some random prank. Then when I checked this site AGAIN, the same message was plastered in my home page. That this site was indeed hacked. I was a little pissed, but still kept my head cool. I logged into my FTP client only to be greeted with all the files in my root folder deleted! And there it was, the index.html file sitting idly there. I didn’t have any backups so you can say that my blood boiled at that moment. I thought of emailing them asking whatever have I done to them and that I don’t deserve this, but I thought that I will just give them the pleasure so I decided against it. Besides, it’s not like they actually backed up the files before deleting them right? What good will it bring?

I did emailed my host about this though. This is so tiring.

This is not funny. There are important files here and I want them to stay in this server. What did I do? What did I do? I’m thinking of switching hosts. I’m not sure. I’m just so… disappointed right now to decide on anything like this.

I just wish that people would be considerate enough to NOT mess with other people’s files like this. It’s not like I did anything like this to someone else, right?! Saying ‘this is unfair’ is such an understatement.
