e-classifieds hacked

Hi All,

I think I have narrowed down the problem. 

A member of HWG did a search for PetSMart and found it owns the domain name "thoroughbreds.com" which is very close to my client's domain of "thoroughbredsonly.com". 

So then I did some checking and realized I must have entered the URL wrong when changing something in the control panel yesterday as the url for the classified program was supposed to be a full url and it wasn't so I "fixed" it--entering the wrong domain. Only problem was that after exiting the control panel then I couldn't get back in.

I'm trying to fix the problem via the back door (Or e-classifieds will charge us $100 to fix my boo boo). I just changed the #script_url in the user.cfg and while the domain shows up correctly now on the home page I still can't get into the control panel--it gives me a "file not found" message and same with the link to the different classified sections. 

Is there anyone who has used e-classifieds who knows if there is something else I should change or what might be wrong?

Please write me offline as I'm on the digest.

PS. thanks to the person who helped me earlier.

thanks.
