We are working on fixing it. I will post when the problem has been fixed. Can't believe people have nothing better to do with their time! It was hacked through an island off New Zealand and routed through Pakistan! geez:(
i worked so hard to make a venue to help improve the health of the breed and to have this happen is very upsetting.
do nt use the site till it is fixed

There is nothing worse than realizing that hard work was destroyed by some a%%h%%%%.

Webmaster found that php code was changed. Thankfully all the info is still there- only the URL was hijacked but the php code was changed on each page to redirect the URL! We changed our password and notified the host and are now trying to get ahold of google to Check the site and give it their ok again. Will let you know when it's ok again. Grrrrrrr!

Maj,
I do that for a living. Wait, not hack sites but development. For someone to put some code on your scripts that redirect to a different URL that means you had a full breach. Someone either via Telnet or FTP had to edit it.
One of three things. Either the account was hacked straight up by cracking the password or your webmaster or you had some spyware that was keylogging and captured your username/password to be able to change the script. Or even worse your host was exploited somehow and they changed more sites than yours.
Either way 2 out of the 3 means someone has your account information. Sounds like you started on the right direction by changing the passwords. The other thing is that more than likely a script has been uploaded to your account that allows them to access it over the web and do all kinds of fun (cough) things from your account. That way whatever they do looks like it is coming from your account. Things like SPAM, Telnet or SSH clients or downloading torrents etc.
So I would have your webmaster delete everything and restore it from a backup that is known clean. Those nested scripts are always obfuscated and made difficult to find but 9 out of 10 times they are not just going to put a drive by exploit and leave. They left you another present to unwrap later.

The host was notified. Webmaster went through the scripts, found the changes and corrected them. The password was changed. Google went through the site and gave us the all clear. However I willl be moving the site to a different host as we found out the host had other breaches. We will be moving it to the site that hosts my dm web site. The site is safe now, however:). Hexe, thanks so much for letting me know about the site being hacked

Brandon, thanks for your input:) my webmaster alsodoes this for a living. He said your suggestions were right on and he actually did do all of your suggestions. I believe I still will move to the server that hosts my dm site as I never had a problem there!
