My antivirus wont even load the page it takes me to an internet explorer error page and then pops up with a box that says it blocked an attack. I am on my phone now.

Yeah it sucks. Sorry guys. Right now I *think* I'm in the process of restoring the site from Monday. I suspect it's not happening.

I'm unfortunately sort of tied up at the moment so there isn't too much I can do. I plan on bitching out GoDaddy as soon as I get the chance.

I think what happened was a bunch of WP sites under them have been attacked all at once. I Googled it and it seems to be a common thing.

I just tried going to shamoozal.com and got no errors. Maybe the restore is working.

The site is hosted on a godaddy server with (probably) a hundred other wordpress sites. So yeah its pretty likely that an exploit was targeted on one of the sites and spread to the others on that server (including us).

Looks like the smorg fixed itself, unless you did something Steve?
