Hacked

[ivegon48]

Just learned that my site (was ivegon.elementfx.com and now ivegon.x10.bz) got hacked for whatever reason. When entering the site, it stated that I got \"HaCkEd\" with a video in Russian I believe right bellow. I will probably change hosting provider because of this incident. Could any of you explain what happened?

Howdy;
Most frequently this is the result of a weak password which a hacker managed to guess. A strong password should have a minimum of 8 characters and should contain a mix of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and special characters. Also changing your password frequently will help you avoid this problem.

So this is just a result of someone guessing my pass. So, if I changed it, would there still be a way of finding a way through? And why my site. There is nothing special really.

Wasn't anything special on mine either, it was just a drive-by hack. Site was picked up on google, password was JUST weak enough they could brute-force it, so they did.

OK, well thank you. I will re-upload my the files from my backup server. I sure hope changing my password will change anything.
