Hi,
The home page of my website http://www.wearethemovies.com has been hacked. The page only displays the message "R00T3D By h3rCule-32 [Name:Safoine-sassi] Tunis- -metouia- -" and a quick google search for those terms did not help.
The other pages consisting of content (in this case, movie reviews etc) are all intact and can be viewed by clicking on the direct links e.g. http://wearethemovies.com/reviews/harry-potter-7b
The index.php file is as it should be and nothing else seems out of the ordinary. Any tips or advice on how to fix this?

Just had a look and all OK, is this resolved?

Yes Nico,
I started reading other threads and across one where the problem was similar to mine (same hacker) and the change was made to the default theme file (adsimple in my case). A re-install of the theme fixed it but took away the customizations that the original creator of the site did, so I used a different theme that best matched and preserved the original look and feel.
In any case, I realise this is not a solution (though the site is indeed up). The site has been hacked twice this year - the first time was a simple fix, just replacement of the index file, but I fear something drastic might happen in the near future. I need to beef up security but have no idea where to begin.
