Well, after the hacking a couple of days ago, I thought things might be better, but alas. When I woke up again, the site was hacked again with a somewhat updated defacing page. This time it took ages before I first was able to remove the new design, and then another two ages before I started to hear anything from the hosting company. There still are some "suspicious" pages in the adminstration part of the site, but hopefully things are working better this time around ... I only was able to restore this site due to a drupal index file for my version that I found in some backwaters of my disks, no help whatsoever from the hosting company.
