Hacked! March 23, 2008

My site, which I haven’t “launched” yet, got hacked. It got hacked after 2 weeks of trying to figure out how to install wordpress on my host. Now that I have successfully installed it, I got hacked. I wasn’t even done yet, because I was still trying to figure out how to edit the template/theme.
The hacker left a message that included “Where is your security?”. I googled the hacker and it seems that he has hacked a number of sites already. How was he able to hack my site? A weak password? How else? How do these hackers choose the sites they hack?
I am extremely annoyed. Aside from having a very, very complicated password, how else can I avoid hacking?
Sigh.
sorry to hear that, cha! that really sucks
