Site Hacked?

[robin_hoods]

I tried to go to my website and logged in with my e-mail and found that another site had been put on there which is not mine and as a result I am unable to log in and get to my own site
My site is http://robin_hoods.webs.com/ but the site now there is http://dwtrainz.webs.com/
I have reported this to webs and I fully intend to disable and remove the site which is currently there since it has been using my e-mail address to log in
I have managed to change the password so the person who did this will be unable to get into the site now.
Unless I am given back my ownsite = http://robin_hoods.webs.com I will publish on here the details of this user including his e-mail and I will dismantle his site
You now have three days to comply

Your Website address worked fine for me.
The other website you show comes up as seperate

Sounds like a bizarre piece of hacking if you put up a website and leave your email address there. A misunderstanding of some sort, maybe best settled off the forum?

Although I can see my own site I cant log into it that is the problem and no one should be able to use my e-mail to set up a web site, they must have hacked it to get the original password
I still intend to delete this other site and publish the users e-mail unless I get my own site back as it was

Slow down a bit.............
According to the sites forum the last post was over a year ago and there are downloads dated 2011, that infers it is not a new site, so it doesn't look to me like the site owner is at fault, more like your hosting provider has screwed up and somehow mixed up the accounts?
I'm betting that if he tried logging in he would end up with your site.

Another bizarre thing is that the replacement site doesn't seem to have had activity for years. Is it possible there is a third party that's messing both sites around?

Too late, Malc got there first

Two more days to go till I remove the http://dwtrainz.webs.com/site
I still cant log into my own site I dont care how old the site is the fact is some one has been using my e-mail to put up this site .
No one should be able to do this and unless I get my access back to my site I will be publishing the users details including e-mail to stop any one else from trying this again

Your site doesn't require a login. You are probably referring to the login procedure that your site provider has set up to allow you to access the site source folder and files on their server to upload content. If you log in and end up at a different place then it is the provider's stuffup - nothing to do with the owner of that other site.

My advice: You had better be absolutely certain that this problem is the result of a "hack" and not a simple "stuff-up" and that the person whose reputation you may be about to trash is actually the one responsible and not just an innocent "by-stander" - just saying.

To put a site on using my e-mail they would have had to somehow got my password first and then then make the site why would anyone else but the user who did this put on some one else's site?
The fact is the site belongs to the user who put it on there

No the site you can see does not need a log in but the site builder where the sites are built and located needs both my e-mail and password to log into it
To do that this other user must have got hold of both my e-mail and password and then made the site that is now on there.
I did not make that other site!!! plus it is now stopping me logging in to my own site

The best bet is to check the ns records, meaning the name server IP address and server information. If they are one and the same for both websites than there is a problem most likely with the network provider. This would be similar to two assets having the same KUID number, including revision. This may have been caused by either the provider or a domain registration issue.

Just been looking at the webs.com forums, looking at all the current problems they appear to be having with logins, I'd say John is on the right lines.

Think about what you're saying - it makes no sense that someone has hacked your account in the last few days but somehow managed to but a 3 year old website with no activity for over a year there. It's far more likely that, considering all the other problems with the Webs.Com user logins at the moment, that there has been a content clash caused by something like a server migration. Remember - at THEIR end, no user names and passwords are required to change anything.

You might have revealed your login and password to someone so they could substitute their pages, but if that's what happened the site would have your URL, not theirs. There is nothing wrong with the URL of your site.

Think back to when you first created your site - it was your hosting service provider who set up the login and password and told you how to use it. They are the ones responsible for what happens when you log in - they are the ones who have now got this login wrong. Not the owner of the site you are seeing. Contact your hosting service help desk and tell them what the problem is.
