I am already a Photopost owner, but needed to post a thread here in a visible area I can show my web host.

Last week the server my site resides on was hacked. It was determined that sites running PHP Nuke exposed vulnerabilities that alllowed the hackers in. My site does not run PHP Nuke.

My host decided to remove any sites running PHP Nuke. They found the word "Nuke" within my Photopost directory and deleted my Photopost directory entirely. I tried to explain that these are just plugin files that are not vulnerable because I am not running PHP Nuke. They made me sign and fax a waiver but my Photopost files are still gone.

Shouldn't the host be able to delete the files "\forums\nuke", "forums\postnuke", and "usergroups-nuke.sql" without disturbing my Photopost? I am running the vb3 plugin, but that shouldn't have any effect.

Can someone from staff please confirm or reiterate what I am saying so my host will restore my Photopost application?

Thank-you!
