In reply to: Massive WordPress Blog Hacks and wp-contentWhy in the world people run versions of software that are KNOWN to be vulnerable rather than upgrading to a package that has no known vulnerabilities is beyond me.

In reply to: Hacked even though 2.3.3 was installedWe analyze security issues. I didn’t want to leave my e-mail address here. So I went to your website (milonic.com) and kindly requested your information by using the contact form. But I’ve heard nothing since.
No thanks, no confirmation, no nothing.

Whatever you do, they will always find a way in to post spam comments. There are laws in any country, and there are people who don’t abide by them.

In reply to: All my blog posts are goneYou should talk to your hosting company at first. I suppose it’s Rapid VPS. I don’t know the apache version or cPanel version there. I’m sure they do.

In reply to: Blog Attacked?Can’t do. It no offense, but I don’t see the point of mentioning them every week or so. If you search WordPress Support, you will find useless tips mentioned by me plus other useful ones mentioned by others.
If you mark it as spam, then the behavior of the spam comment associated with the IP address will be recorded by Akismet. Then the same comment is most likely to go straight to the basket under Akismet Spam rather than Awaiting Moderation if other Akismet users receive it.
If you choose delete, then the behavior of the spam comment won’t be recorded.
