Further to this, I just added back that missing block of iThemes Security into my .htaccess file. It was composed of many file definitions, including all my passwords for WordPress, etc, in wp-config.php, which seemed to be available without those directives. Since I’m in panic mode right now, I put it back. So far, only my IP was seen to be trying to grab that critical file.
Holy crap.
I’m still interested in hearing any feedback as to what could have happened here. I think I dodged a bullet by noticing this – by pure dumb luck.

ok, I figured out the bulk of my problems. I fixed it by adding:
<Directory "/var/www/html">
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
in /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf based on what I read in
http://www.dev-metal.com/enable-mod_rewrite-ubuntu-14-04-lts/
about changes betwreen Apache 2.2 versus 2.4.
Although things aren’t perfect yet, at least I now have access to the admin area now, and my links work.
