# wp-admin folder contents missing

 * Between last night at about 11 pm est and this morning, almost my entire wp-admin
   folder has disappeared from my wp install.
 * About 90% of all my wp-admin files are missing. Thankfully, I did a wp xml file
   export yesterday afternoon, but without my wp-admin files, I have no idea how
   to import it.
 * Can anyone suggest any help, and does anyone have any ideas on how this could
   have happened? I can only assume I was hacked, as I didn’t run any processes 
   overnight. I’m not sure where to check to confirm this, however.
 * I have a VERY large blog, going back to 2007, and I’m frantic at the thought 
   of having lost all my data. Can anyone help?

 * As long as you have a backup of your database, you shouldn’t lose anything. Your
   site should still function without the /wp-admin/ folder, you just won’t be able
   to log in. You should just be able to reupload the /wp-admin/ folder to via FTP.
 * I have no idea why they would randomly disappear. When you get back in, you should
   change/update your passwords for both your WordPress login, and your FTP/Databases.

 * There must be more that’s missing, as the entire blog is now missing and will
   not load.

 * I will log in to powweb and cross my fingers that there’s a current back up.
 * I’ll also follow your advice about changing all of my passwords.
