Well, that's just great! How did this happen? Nobody has ever had access to my root folder ever. Nothing seems to have been compromised. What should I do? The file creation dates way back to Jan, and nothing weird happened until recently.
I don't run an Apache server. It appears that may be why it didn't work?

Is my forum safe with the file removed if nothing else has happened? As far as I know, the only thing that went wrong is my home page would not load. Everything else on the forum was working fine. Every other page, link, and feature was entirely accessible and operational. I don't believe any passwords or anything were actually accessed. At least, there are no signs that anyone has been hacked or anything. The only port that was ever open on my server was 80. It looks more like a failed attempt, that just messed with the home page's ability to load.
