DavidAirey.com was recently hacked and completely hijacked. David is pursuing legal channels to restore his site, in the meantime he continues his work and services at http://www.davidairey.co.uk/. This incident should serve as a somber reminder to everyone to frequently change your passwords and keep them secure.
@ David
We feel the pain my friend. We recently had to deal with hackers hijacking one of our site, spamming it, and us paying with a PR penalty. I hope you manage to get your site back!
That’s awful too!
Still, on the face of it, PR penalties might not be too bad. A lot of great bloggers have received them, yet their organic search engine results haven’t been affected. It’s more like a public perception penalty, for those aware of PR.
I’ve just discovered that the problem has to do with a GMail security failure, and I’m publishing a new blog post detailing the infection later today.
Hope all of you at HSO have a fantastic new year!

Thanks very much for helping me recover. Those who spread the word about this criminal act are doing me a great favour, as I rebuild my business.
I’ll be publishing an update on my blog in the hope that no-one else succumbs to web pirates.
