Shock How come my Sub-Domain Got Hacked?

How come my Sub-Domain Got Hacked?

I am still confused. I am not getting How my Website Sub Domain ( http://personal.mrintech.com/ )got Hacked?:





I completely deleted the content (wordpress) of this Sub-Domain and after some Hours I deleted the whole sub-domain from cPanel. But still I am not getting, why this Sub Domain is still showing?



Any way to completely remove this? Main domain (MrinTech - Your Computers and Technology Guide) is working completely fine.

I am not worried (as I have Database/File Backup), but I am still confused regarding How my Sub-Domain got Hacked if it's not existing at all?

Help Appreciated

your main site http://www.mrintech.com/ is also not opening right now.
After deleting sub-domain folder, if it is still showing than it may be browser cache.

If your only sub-domain was hacked, than you must be using some insecure wordpress version or any vulnerability wordpress plugin.

Thanks for your response.....

I recently got a mail from eWebGuru that there are some Hard Drive Error so the server is down. Also it's not a browser cache as I cleaned the junk with CCleaner many time and also freshly opened the Sub-Domain in IE and opera as well. It's something on the server side I think

Regarding insecure version of Wordpress: I was using wordpress 2.8.5. I deleted the content as I was not blogging on it. The Only Mistake I made is: I deleted the Sud-Domain from cPanel after 4-5 Hours. It might be showing Parent Directory for these 4-5 Hours and Hacker Hacked it in someway.

I am baffled as Why sub-domain is showing content when it's already deleted from the cPanel.

BTW I'll again update this thread as soon as the server is available

congrats, your site is opening now.

ask your host to install mod security to protect you from sql injections and other common attacks.
