I hope my several sites aren't on the list, but my machine gets attacked almost daily. Luckily, only two people in the last year have made it through, both due to my mistake in not reconfiguring my default FTP settings (which were fixed as soon as I noticed the problem).

But no one is hackproof, myself included. The warning for this Sunday may be pointless (since crackers operate 7 days a week, anyway), but back up your data just in case.
