12/10/2005: "Heliopolis Hacked - Take 6"

Heliopolis was hacked, again. I have once again removed and/or corrected the affected files. Everything should be working, now. I once again lost all stories since the last update. I will work on backing up more often, and for now, it is up to the authors to resubmit those stories that were removed.

I also changed permissions on many of the files and folders, which should prevent the large scale problem from reoccurring. Unfortunately, this virus/trojan is preying on some of the vulnerabilities of the script that we use to allow you guys to archive your own stories. I will add (once again) looking for an alternative to the list of projects for the new year.

Thanks for your patience, and to all of you who promptly informed me of the problem. I apologise for the inconvenience.
