I want to take a moment and apologize to any of you who attempted to visit this blog and were redirected to an inappropriate website. For the last week I have been dealing with a hacker who has been terrorizing my blog and my life! It’s been horrible.
Somehow the hacker was able to gain access to the WordPress files in my main directory including my index.php, wp-load.php, and wp-blog-header.php files. The hacker is inputting code that is doing a 301 redirect from this site to a porn site.
Again I my sincere apologies for those of you who were redirected due to the malicious intent of this hacker. I am doing my very best to try and solve this problem and get rid of this hacker for good. If you have any advice for me I would appreciate it. Thank you!

Chase, I have been trying to connect with you by sending e-mails and a message on Facebook. I’m sorry to hear Evolve was a disaster, but my website is stuck in your disaster. Can you please turn the files over to me so I can get on with my business. I don’t really know who to go to for hosting but I need someone who is willing to work with me. I thank you for attending to this in a timely manner. Robin Blaha
Use .htaccess For Kids level attacks
Check your Logs and Dig down.
If the hack is from xx.xx.xx.xx IP Simply Block that particular IP using .htaccess
I need to get into the system to get detailed information What exactly the said person is trying to do. (Will read your Logs + Configuration files etc.)
Remember Once again Security is a stupid concept (At least in Open Source world If One can read the source code he can do many things. The Bitter truth of Open Source world.). You can’t be secure But at least you can try..
Anyways
regards
