I got hit by hackers( or maybe my host ) I had 10+ sites ( WordPress ) go down to hackers. Script didn't really do anything to oxwall but put a txt file in the folder that didn't ever display on the front side of the site. Is it a security issue to be in the 1.5.3 version?
36 hours later I have all the sites back up, but want to make sure I am better armed.

we need more details from you. request access logs from your hosting provider support, when this script showed up on your website. we need this file content as well, in what folder it has been put?
