all images are gone from the server, just erased..... with FTP you will see empty categorie folders....
The attacker just left 1 image... with the text ; do fairytales come true?....
It is pure sarcastic...

How to prevent hackers attack ??

You are running version 1.7.1.
Have you installed ALL security fixes for this version?
http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?board=17.0


And have a look in your apache server logs...
Your first three "must do" before you ask a question:
1. Forum rules
2. FAQ
3. Search

Change your password for access to your ftp right away. (I'm no expert but I would do that just as a precaution.)

I had someone guess my password to my EBay account and hack it a while back.

And check with your web hoster to see if they might have a fairly recent backup of your whole site that they can restore for you.

djith,
I know where you can find phpadmin in CPanel.  If your web hosting service has CPanel, click on the icon for MYSQL databases,  scroll to the very bottom of the page and in tiny letters there will be a hotlink that says "phpadmin".

But BEFORE you go mucking about in phpadmin,  go to the Backup icon in CPanel and backup every one of your databases to your computer so that if something goes wrong you can easily restore the previous database.

djith,

This is like everyone's worst nightmare...I really feel for you.  Especially since I cannot backup my huge amount of pictures by downloading them since I have the equivalent of dialup. So I am always fearful of some disaster such as this.

If you have EVER moved your site to a new hosting service at some point then you may have a gzipped file which contains your entire web site right there on your space because that is how the web host would have fetched it from your previous hosting service and then installed it on their site.  Then ask your web hosting service to unzip it maybe in a folder on your site (if your have enough space) and then you can copy the 4images folder back into your present folder with all the images you had up to that point intact.

Are you sure your images are gone...look in /public_html/Gallery/data/media/ for numbered folders and look in them.
