# Inbex.php hacked

 * Hi,
 * My blog ([http://www.sweatlikeapig.com](http://www.sweatlikeapig.com)) has been
   hacked several times over the past few weeks. It has mostly been my htaccess 
   file that has been modified (which was therefore only affecting the way my site
   was being viewed on mobile devices), which I have been able to edit myself. However,
   now the inbex.php file has been changed and as a consequence my blog is not loading
   at all.
 * Would someone be able to take a look at my inbex file below and tell me what 
   has been modified so I can fix it? My knowledge of HTML is very basic so please
   be gentle. Thanks! In the past week, the other files that have been modified 
   are: cgi-bin, temp, wp-admin, wp-content and wp-includes. Would I be better off
   just restoring my site to a back up from a week ago, and then implementing the
   steps to prevent this from happening again?

 * That’s not a good idea and not how to handle hacked sites. You need to close 
   the door the attacker came in via and get fresh original copies of files from
   the source when you can.

 * Rather than going through some dubious code, you really need to delouse your 
   installation first.
 * You need to start working your way through these resources:
