One of my clients sites was hacked - here is the front screen. They give contact information - maybe a ransom being offered to give site back. Have any of you seen this? Is there anyway to get in the database and weed this hijacker's coding out? She's in tears and I need to find out what can possibly be done. She called godaddy and they were no help - told her they were not doing any backups and I neglected to set up a backup plugin (my bad).

Any input or advise would be appreciated. If she has to hire someone to help her get it back, then that's an option on the table.

Thanks...Cindy Seipel

Thanks Chuck - I sent her there and she's going to sign up but also spoke with godaddy again today and got a hold of someone who knew their head from their toes and they got her site restored for the time being. Too many stupid people in this world ;-)

Thanks for the quick response and assistance.
