CarlOcab dot Com was hacked?

I was shocked to hear my friend Carl’s website hacked when he told me about it. While I don’t know what I can do to help him, I went back to the site and found it and alive already with another hosting company. I thought he was joking with me initially, but it was really happening and i didn’t manage to see his site down in the past 8 hours.

Sunday is a day of rest for me to go church at noon, take some short afternoon naps, and surfing around the Internet after having my dinner. When Carl told me about it, I wasn’t at my desk when I reached home from church at about 4pm.

Hacking a website for fun is somehow too big a joke to make. Luckily, his site was not totally removed of his files and database.

I remember back in July when I was having problem using wordpress on Godaddy. After trying all ways to find out how to solve that trailing slash problem, I gave up and move on to Bluehost. After which, I realize there is a slight problem in transporting my files over. After trial and error getting it right, I decided to document it in my blog post as How to Transfer WordPress from One Server to Another. I never knew it may become useful to Carl or anyone else. I am just glad that I can contribute as part of the blogosphere.

It is bringing to my attention that I should be working on my new website interface pretty soon. It’s been taking some time since I was outside to bring in more income.
