 * Hi Lucas.
 * My host is Binero.se but I don’t thing that they are the problem anymore…
    Anyway,
   I think I sorted things out.
 * I reinstalled wordpress, theme and reverted to an 2 week old DB.
    Everything 
   seems to be fine for now.
 * I found a really suspicious file inside my uploads folder.
    the file was called“
   _cache” and seemed to contain some sort of code.
 * Hope that helps.
 * /Eric

 * Ohh no!

 * One more thing though…
 * In retrospect I kind of regret trashing the htaccess file.
    Should I create another
   one? How do I do that?

 * Thanks! I’ve changed my passwords and deleted the htaccess file.
    Site check 
   is not finding anything at the moment…
 * Do you think it was my hosting company that got hacked?
 * Let’s hope I stopped it in time.

 * Ok I deleted a hidden file called
    .htaccess

    Is my database corrupted now?
