Guess what happens when you don’t login to your WordPress installation in 4 (yes, FOUR!) months? It gets hax0red by super elite people and then babies and cute puppies all over the world cry soul burning tears. How do I know this? From experience, of course!

*cue baby and puppy soul burning tearful cries*

Soooo.. I’m back up and running, obviously. I’m pulling my hair out and my eyes are bloodshot, OBVIOUSLY. Trying to get back into this blogging thing. Because remember how I wrote a lot about my first kid? Then the second was born and I did the stereotypical thing of NOT WRITING ABOUT HER. Bad mom, BAD. So the second kid is doing great.. She’s 9 months old now, crazy. I’ll write about them later though. Right now I want to talk about how my webhost is a total douche bag.

I went to login to WordPress and it wouldn’t work. I did “Forgot password” and waited. I got the email, telling me my username was “sex” and I could click the link to reset my password. WAIT, WHAT?! Sex?!??? I’m pretty darn sure that is NOT what my username was. I knew I had been targeted right then and there. I e-mailed my webhost, hoping they could help me revert what happened or give me some insight. This is the CLASSY and VERY MUCH NOT ENGLISH reply that I received:

Well, most common reason behind hacking site is unsecure ftp password or old website software script. If you would have kept unsecure password someone could easily get into your account and hack website. Apart from this any sort of malware that could have inserted into your website while connecting to ftp. Your best bet to stop it in future is that keep secure password, keep any software that you have installed onto your website. If you do have a backup you can restore it however you can order our restore from a backup feature from your customer manager it would cost $50 USD one time.

Sooo.. that was fun to read, no? I was pretty much on my own and with my amazingly smart husband beside me, keeping me calm and helping me through the process, we fixed it and got it back up and running. I pay hardly anything for my webhosting every month, so I can’t really complain. When it comes to webhosting and many other things in life, you really do get what you pay for.

Well, I’ll write about my kids later. For now I am going to bed because I just spent my entire evening trying to fix my broken WordPress installation. Stoopid.
