Hello.
My website has been hacked and I have no idea what to do about it. I can't log in anymore, and I feel like crying a bit.
Is there something you WordPress guys can help me with?
I don't know if this is the right place to post this in, but I'm posting it here in hopes that I can get help. I just want my site back. =(
The site that is affected it http://www.yazuka.net
I've been using wordpress for a couple of years now and this is the first time something like this has happened.
You can see the rest of the page if you go to http://www.yazuka.net/archives/
But I can't log in or do anything. Any help is greatly appriciated!

No, I haven't done either... I have some posts backed up, but they are from way back.
I know, stupid, stupid. Thought this would never happen.. Ugh. =(
Copying from a post just yesterday... Sorry for recycling, but these really are the standard response to being hacked.
Backup everything right now and put that somewhere safe. This is your safety net.

Once that's safely put away, give these a read.

When possible, you'll need to replace all of your files with good ones from the source. Once you've reached the Happy Place™ consider doing this next step.

It will make automated updates a manual thing (locking down the file system) but until your confident the site is secure that's probably not a bad thing. When you're convinced it's all good, then you can relax the file system restrictions back to normal.
Good luck.
try contacting your hosting providers for now :/
