Website issues

Sometime on the 6th, my hosting company's security was compromised, and they lost control of the sites they host.

A hacker (from Russia apparently) managed to log in to several of their client sites, and maliciously destroy content.

My author website has been more or less deleted, Tesser's website was contaminated with viruses, and a good portion of the Elmoryn content was altered or deleted entirely.

I've been working with the host company for a day now and I'm not satisfied with their answers, or their help, so over the next few days, I'll be moving and rebuilding all of my websites somewhere else. Further, I'm scrubbing all of my passwords and logins to make sure they aren't able to steal any of my own identity.

My host company hasn't said what data was compromised on their end for my users, but I do NOT collect credit card info, or personal info beyond your email addresses to login.
As a precaution, I would suggest NOT visiting any of my websites for the next couple of days until I get everything sorted out.
Further, as always, please be aware of spam emails, or anything coming from addresses you aren't familiar with.

I apologize for this, it sucks, and it'll be a huge pain in my ass for weeks to come, please bear with me.
