My site was attacked. I’m hosted by HostGator and they cleaned it up but I can’t get back into it, it shows up as an attack site again. I’m running 3 WP sites and I can get into 2 but http://www.polyhedrongames.com is eluding me… after I updated to 3.5.1

Once it has been cleaned up, you have to make a request to Google for reconsideration.

Also, you should change all of your passwords (WP admin and FTP/hosting).
