One of my websites got hacked!

I’m having a bit of a freak out. One of my client websites got hacked! It’s called an injection by a third party. If it wasn’t so unsettling I’d think it was something dirty. I guess it was just a matter of time. This client has old code and smarter people than me with a mind for evil have figured out how to exploit it. My programmers noticed it a few weeks back and notified me. Of course, I’m no security expert so I didn’t see the message mixed in with so many others. Nor did I comprehend the severity. Then the client noticed it by way of a Google search. The guys are fixing it right now and I’m attempting damage control. This client, like so many, doesn’t know or care to know how things work. They just want them to, work I mean.

To all hackers out there, I hate you. I hope you die!
