 * My blog, which is [here](http://www.thoughtsandrantings.com), keeps getting hacked.
   It is, of course, Muslims loyal to Osama Bin Laden. Anyhow, they are getting 
   into my MySql Database and changing my master user name and password and swapping
   out my Index.HTML.
 * I know it is Muslims, because they are putting an picture of Osama up there.
 * Now, I changed my password in Cpanel. My question is, what else can I do?
 * I changed my WordPress password many times, didn’t help.
 * Here’s my plug in list:
 * Advanced Blogroll
    Akismet All in One SEO Pack Contact Form 7 Google XML Sitemaps
   Jetpack by WordPress.com Podcasting Plugin by TSG Really Simple CAPTCHA W3 Total
   Cache WordPress Mobile Admin WP Security Scan
 * Any ideas, because at this point, I am at a loss. My host acts like its wordpress’s
   fault and is not really trying to help.

 * Changing the passwords may not be enough. Most hackers implant a back door into
   your site and, if you don’t remove that, they’ll walk straight back in again.
