Smart Coders... Question - site hacked

by Kevin_Hutto
6 replies
Someone has hacked one of our sites... It is advertized on Adwords and when someone clicks on the ad, it no longer goes to our site, but to some malware site.

When I type in the URL, my site is displayed. How are they doing this, and how can we fix it?

Thanks,
Kevin

    Did you check your adwords account to see if its redirecting to the desired address?

    You adwords acct could be compromised.

    It was a static site... and we had installed a blog on it a couple years ago that I had forgotten even existed. The turds used the blog to get in and change the htaccess file and redirect to a malware site.
