Seven Joomla Sites HACKED over the last two weeks %(

[DesignDog]

About a week ago I had seven Joomla sites hacked.

They all inherited a dysfunctional parse error from nonorescaped quotes I think.


Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ')'

They all showed some sort of parse error like this on different pages.

I dont think this is a hosting problem. I thought it was at first.

Is there a decent way to fix the parse errors or is it just best to start over??


After I did some research, I believe I got hacked because I had BSQSiteStats installed?? not totally sure though.
I didnt have anything installed like gigCalendar or anything. Is there a def way to find out?

Anyone can shed a little light on this and maybe a few cents on how to prevent it or how I can find out exactly how I got hacked or any comment relating to the parse error???

I know that the 1.10 stable helps this a lot which I did upgrade half of them but...

ALSO anyone have a good simple step by step on how to recompose a new site from a NEW INSTALL?

thanks!
