Been Hacked! Need Help!

[Gerry]

Hi Gerry,
How things going for you?

Hope your site is back up.

The site was never down. It was simply a page installed onto the site (at least that is all I hope was going on). I could see the site fine. I only discovered this when I was doing a physical search on google for where I ranked and saw this page extension showing up.

Did you look in the Wordpress theme's header.php, index.php and footer.php file to double check that it wasn't embedded in one of those pages?

Yes. That's what took so long. The only thing I knew to look for was KinG.htm file.

When I first checked cPanel, I did not see it because the files I was looking at sites had not been built out yet. That made me very suspicious of how it got embedded on my sites so I was looking for that malicious file.. Even though I removed all from cPanel, naturally I am still concerned how it got there. Not too happy with the host (Lunar Pages). It has been well over 24 hours since I emailed the help desk and no response.

Love the exclamations in the title... You would almost think were talking about Twitter getting hacked.

Traffic to the site?, most likely nil.
