    Contact your host, they should be able to restore it to an older version.

    Then change all your passwords and ask your host to scan the server for infections.

    More technical warriors might be able to offer some more advice.

    Good luck.

    Do you have a backup of your site? You may have to re-upload everything. Also, contact your web host and inform them of the problem. They'll be able to help you find any vulnerabilities and plug them.

    Check out the Page Source of your file. The page would have been saved in the name of index.htm. Go to your cpanel and remove that file from the main directory, it will resume your website. Now change your cpanel password.

    Ask your host to fix & restore it to the old version.
    Hire a programmer and get the issue fixed that lead to the hack. You host will be able to tell you what the issue is.

    Justin just came to post that all of my sites were hacked today when saw your post. I talked to my host and they said they can restore from backups, however the issue is stolen information, which would suck. I had sites on different platforms, from joomla to prestashop to wordpress, so it wasn't a wordpress issue for me. My sites were up though they had just uploaded a hack page on all websites, so I'm hoping nothing more has been done. I changed all of my passwords to random generated 20 character ones. I would recommend installing a security plugin on all of your wordpress sites if you haven't already. That should at least make it harder for hackers to mess with. Good luck, hope you get them restored.
