Last night, around 4:20AM EST, web hosting providers InMotionHosting and Webhostinghub were hacked by Tiger-M@te, a semi-infamous Bangladeshi hacker.
Intrigue Music’s website is hosted on InMotionHosting’s servers, and we were indeed hacked during this attack. Some of our core files were compromised, but a simple removal and replacement of these infected files remedied the problem. We did not lose any important information from our databases. All of our blog posts and information appear to be safely in tact. Phew!
InMotionHosting is actively working to remedy this security hole, and are updating customers live via their Twitter account (@inmotionhosting), and in this article on their website.
We are really lucky that all this hacker did was flash his gun, and not actually fire any bullets.
