Public Announcement but hopefully not many of you will really need it. I receive numerous spam/ransom emails saying my email, or computer was hacked, etc and I need to pay bitcoin or $. You know what I am talking about, right?! I learned to ignore those long time ago. Yesterday a client forwarded a similar email saying her website was hacked and she needed to pay money to get it back. She was not sure about it was a spam or not. Reading this email my mind tricked me that it was the same spammy staff, but with a twist. But went to check her site anyway. No, it was not spam. Her website was hacked, I was able to find malicious files. Remove them, restore the pages, and now it is back to normal. In case, you receive a similar email, take it seriously, do not ignore it. But I hope you won't! The site was on Godaddy.
