Hi DNN community, 

I am hoping with your feedback I can resolve the hack on my website restore it.  

I had a poll running on whether a specific country leader should resign.  The poll (survey module) was in the high 70% in favor of resigning , the website was gaining traction and then boom! 

No matter what page I browse to I get the same same default DNN Error page and no matter what page i browse to like the login page the URL that appears in the address bar is this 

http://www.mywebsite.com/Default.aspx?tabid=36&error=Object+reference+not+set+to+an+instance+of+an+object.

At first I thought that i'd been hit with a SQL injection so I had the hosting company do a database restore , this database restore had no effect.  So I am now turning to the DNN community for some advice.  I have been using DNN for years.  The version i am running in this installation is 4.9 the latest version.

Have you looked at the DNN event logs in your database?  Those should help narrow down what and where is causing the error.

if you can connect to your db directly (using your host control panel or SQL Server Management Studio) , you could look in the log tables to see what the error is

Alright had a look through the tables in the database ,  checked the "EventLog" table  the last  event log entry is this date 2010-01-03 21:11:18.550 

The event message was a piece of XML with nothing helpful at all.
