   Dear All,

   Unfortunately it seems my blog at digitalang.com has been hacked.

   There is a small smiley face at the bottom of each page and I can't get into my admin area to do anything like spam comments etc.

   When I try to get to /wp-admin I get a 404 error. I can see my whole blog via the Cpanel, but I can't seem to interact to write/delete/edit posts or anything else.

   Yikes! Has anyone got any clever ideas of how to fix this?

   Thanks,

   Seth.

   So, the smiley is NOT a sign of being hacked.
   The blog works - from the frontend.

   404 means just that: the file/folder is NOT there.

   Aha, great thanks Moshu. I guess the smiley face is not a sign of being hacked then, just the stats. That's a good start.

   However, I still think there is something very wrong with my blog. If I try to got to /wp-login, /wp-admin or any of the other pages to interact with my blog I get the 404 page error-

   From what you're saying I guess that means that the /wp-login folder etc isn't there? That seems pretty wrong to me :-/

   Seth.

   FTP? Check if it is there?
   (I can't check it, for sure:)

   When I check via ftp I can see everything, folders, files etc... very strange. When I try to access via http, I get the 404.

   Any ideas what might cause this?
