Well, these things can occur on multiple levels. If you searched the
database & found nothing, then your next course of action is to
consult your hosting provider (if you're not it). The .htaccess file
may provide clues, but, whatever the case, it does suggest the
possibility of a server rather than simply a site hack. If that is
indeed the case, & you're on shared hosting, then the hosting provider
really needs to be contacted, because you don't have sufficient
privileges to remediate that.
