I have a couple of websites hosted on AFMU and it looks like someone hacked AFMU entirely!!

When checking afmu.com I'm getting this

^H4ck3d^By^Mr.P3rfekT

also all of my websites are giving me 403 Forbidden error!!

Can anybody confirm this, I can't even access my FTP, now I would be really screwed if all of my web data is gone as I haven't backed it up last month!! :cry:

Your host has confirmed the break-in

AFMU.com has been victimized by a security hole in WHMCS. This attack has been widespread, and effected many customers of WHMCS. In
order to remove any possibility of future threats, we are reformatting and reimaging all of our servers. We expect this to take the entire
weekend. All of your data is safe and will be restored from backup. We are deeply apologetic for this problem. We shall update this page as more
information is known.
