Website defaced

Someone defaced my weblog this afternoon, leaving people to find nothing but a black screen with some red text at the top:
This site is defaced!!!
NeverEverNoSanity WebWorm generation 15.
Just lovely. Comment spam, graffiti, defacers--someone needs to invent some roach traps or rat poison for our digital homes. Posted by eugene at December 20, 2004 2:03 PM

Hmmm, this is a webworm that attacks phpBB sites. You're saying your site got defaced, and it doesn't have phpBB on it? Very weird! Check my blog for some links about this and report to them about this, if it really IS the weblog that was used to hack your site.

It's not just a worm that attacks phpbb sites. It also attacks php based modules. I have a link exchange program set up on my site that has been defaced as well.

It appears to only effect php pages. All my asp pages look fine.

One of the things that really bites about this worm is that so many sites have been indexed with the black page of death so when you google it you just come up with a bunch of people that we're attacked as well.
