As someone already pointed out, that's what happens when you use IIS. This
hacker/cracker is probably a good guy. He/she's offered admin advice to
fix the hole, has probably backed up the index page & appears to have left
the rest of the site alone. Consider us lucky ....

Sending multiple hate mails or spam will probably buy you more trouble
than
you want!
