I Was Hacked... :'(

I Was Hacked...




I am a boy who have'nt thought about security of the accounts on the web. I am very interested in web designing and hosting a site, but as i am poor so i dont have any domain but i had a free Wap domain of Mywibes site builder, and i gave my most of times to create that site, at first there were only two visitors one is me and another is my friend but then after i got a little knowledge of HTML and my interest increased to more high level so, i continue worked on my site, after some days amazingly visitors increased over than 100, My desire was in the line of success, in few more days my site became very famous, and there were lots of visitors, requests and hits to my site. I felt that hard work really gives a better result. But as i was not introduced of hacking and how to be safe from hackers, my site got hacked and since i was used the same password on my email my email was also hacked, i have recovered my email in around 3 hours of hacking but unfortunatly i havent get my site back as Mywibes is free and only for earning service, they are very bad, i suggest do not make a site from there, they just looking for there earning, and please never use same password to all of your accounts to be safe online. After hacking of my account i searched for how to be safe online, and read lots of blogs, forums, sites etc. And now following the instructions of them. Please be safe, and never get a hurt like me.
BE SAFE, BE SECURE!
