How come my Sub-Domain Got Hacked? :huh:

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 :D

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 :)

Well I found the Hacker (it's not so hard for me) and will PWN him soon :P The only problem I am facing is server downtime
