Unfortunately my website got hacked a couple of months ago. The following post by Julio was very helpful for me to restore my website. I hope it will help others too.

Here is my “comment” (or “mini-tutorial” if you want to call it): Continue reading
Assalam-o-Alaikum!
I posted this in response to a Linked-In discussion on ‘Azad Visa in Saudi Arabia’ and thought it would be very useful for others who are not using LinkedIn.
I am posting this because I believe that as a Muslim its my duty to deliver the truth to others. I have seen many job postings and offers over the Internet claiming that they offer Azad Visas.
Today I was very shocked to see that Google Pakistan has been defaced by an unknown group ‘eboz’. I can’t believe that a reputed company like Google can be compromised so easily. The hackers must be very competent as google is not a little business to get Panga with 
Update: I have come to know that basically it was an infiltration in the PKNIC database. PKNIC is responsible for managing domain names ending with the ‘.PK’ tld. You can find more info about it at www.pknic.net.pk
The following is the screenshot of the defaced page:
Apparently, no one has taken the responsibility of hacking Google.com.pk as of now, but a message written in Turkish language indicates the presence of Turkish hacker group that goes by the name of Eboz. There has been no motive or message left over the defaced website which usually is not the case as hackers love to leave their message on the websites they hack.
The hackers left the following message in turkish language:
Kankalarım hep yanımda arkadaş içinde
Yanımda olmayan mı var çekimlik her nefestePakistan Downed
?
trabzon 2012
Dostlara selam ölmedik hala yaşıyoruz!
Here its translation in english which I got from Google Translate:
My homies in a friend always there for me
Have not shot by me with every breathtrabzon 2012
Hello friends who are still alive not dead!
Really… I have no idea what does it mean!
Over the last 1-2 years, we have seen many other big websites getting hacked, and their secure information getting leaked in several ways, like the case in Sony Music which got hacked last year. A text displaying “Downed Pakistan” can be observed on the defaced website, which is probably the sign for victory.
Solution: If you still not able to open Google Pakistan then simply you can:
What are your comments on this?
I’ve been using cformII for a while now for my clients. I am really impressed by the great features this plugin has. I think its being developed by a single developer and thats why there are some bugs in it. Last time I encourtered a serious bug and I had no choice but to reset cformII. I tried to re-install it by completely deleting cforms from plugins and deleted the two db tables created by cforms but my old forms keep appearing when I install it again.
So after searching a while on the Internet I found the solution. Continue reading
Just found this script here for inviting all of your friends to like your page. Its awesome and time saving.
The twenty eleven theme is one of my favorite wordpress themes. Its very lightweight, well managed, fully functional and the best thing is it uses fewer resources of the web server.
