Colleen and Joe: Thanks much for the work in putting this article together–and publishing it.

We were victims of malicious hacker(s) a couple of years ago–along with 25 other Tomato bloggers. The devastation was heartbreaking–and we have yet to get all photography and graphics back up into older articles.

Colleen, I know how hard it is to deal with this kind of destruction when you are busy with your real estate business as well. Thanks for the extra time you took to share your remedies!

Colleen – what a nightmare that had to be! I had been reading about sites being hacked recently, and the various ways people were finding where the bad code was.

Thanks for sharing the steps you took and the links you provided. I'm glad you got your blog back up as you did but what a nightmare you had to deal with in the interim.

Kudos to the client who alerted you!

Shock value: Watch an earnest drama and the biggest revelation might be that the hero had an affair and kept it secret from his wife. Watch even a lousy horror movie and the hero could be a homicidal maniac in his spare time. Surprise!

What a nightmare. You are fortunate that your clients had another way of getting a hold of you. Thank you for the recommendations. I'll ask my webmaster to look into it.

I am a victim….or rather I feel like I have just been raped! Just the day before yesterday I was sending a mailing to Miami area real estate agents when my mailing list server was comprimised.

It began viciously sending out unsolicited emails to 8,133 real estate agents in Florida in no time at all before I could reacted my server crashed under the load

I was left no re-course but to take the list down and send apologies to all the reciepients (if I missed you sorry you have my deepest apologies see the public apopolgy on my site http://www.bizmeds.biz/164/our-apologies-mailin... ).

It really burns my but why anyone talented as this waste his/her precious time being malicious. It gives Internet marketing a really bad name one that it does not deserve.
