Last night I checked my website to feveral of my main pages had been "hacked" I was left with a black screen with a ghostly figure of a child which looked like it was from the Vietnam war and some sort of reference to that fact that I had been hacked - there was a haunting type music to go along with it.
After a little investigation there were several fresh files installed on the website all called "default" - htm, php and css type pages.

I removed all of these and the problem has now gone away.

I am now of course very concerned that my website security has been compromised, do they know my password etc, any suggestions on best course of action greatfully recieved . I am satisfied that no-one has had access to my computer apart from myself and no-one else knows any of the website settings.
