Hey guys,

I' m in the middle of writing up a post. Please stand by.

in a nutshell.... A 0 day exploit came out that affects anyone that's running the newest / securest linux kernal. About 1% of our servers were hacked from this exploit. The hacked boxes basically just had indexes renamed or deleted. It's not as bas as it sounds and we should have everything back under control very shortly. More official post coming in a sec...

My site got hacked too. And it's not a reseller. Found a temporary way around it. Just FTP up a new page and redirect your index file to it. It's a temporary fix until they get this hacked stuff sorted out.
