I don’t know who or how. My wordpress blog (i.e. this site) kept reverting back to “install” as if the content just disappeared. All I gotta say is.. if you’re the one who hacked it and are readin this, please know that you suck. Both as a person and as a hacker b/c i managed to restore everything in 5 minutes.
If you are having this problem and are computer savvy, run this on your mysql table:
analyze wp-options;
You’ll notice that it comes back saying some blocks got screwy. Just run this and you’re good to go
repair table wp-options;
Voila.
Apparently, this is a well known security risk problem. But it says it could also be a wordpress bug.. but i am not certain how php/mysql is capable of corrupting a table.
