Help! What do you do when your site has been hacked?

[madame defarge]

My friend has a blog via Blogger, but her site got hacked. Whoever did this also stole 3 of her thread essays & changed the words to be anti-liberal.

Any ideas?

1. If it were me...

I'd immediately bold-face the changed parts, re-post the originals and write a disparaging piece about how conservatives who can't deal with the facts and issues will resort to cyber-vandalism.

Buncha savages in this town.

2. Thoughts

Blogger.com should have good security, so I doubt it was hacked through a vulnerability on their end (but don't rule it out). The server your friend uses may have been compromised. If so, simply re-publishing the blog might restore the original.

Another possibility is that her password was cracked. Tell her to change her password and make it harder to guess.
