Two sites on my server have been non-functioning for days, due to a database problem. The coder is fixing it now, but I'm suspicious that the password was compromised and the config.php file was changed.

Also, one site that's forum-based is generating email failure emails and I don't know why or how to stop it. Does this sound like a server that's been messed with by a malicious hacker? I have somebody in mind that may have done so.
 


hackers/script-kiddies tend to leave a mark such as a replacement index page that says their handle or the name of the hacker group they belong to.
