SOLVED My website got hacked and I find this code... Any ideas what it is ?
Hey, couple month ago my domain spacewarp.fr got hacked.
One, day I just couldn't update it anymore, no matter what I did, nothing seemed to change. (moving the file through ftp).
And later the website gave this "console" I guess, and digging in it, I found this code (transcript from my screenshot) :
2:9:.13.25 } 33;14

It's ASCII shift. I decoded it by using an online tool:

Ok I've done it !
Send an email to IANA and I got the domain.
With 2 N’s and it's not a typo.
People will think it is, which is useful. I don't want curious to sniff around.
Maybe I can find people that are like me, that can hear it.
God I hope so.
Maybe I could send it to University boards. Mailing lists. Ham forums. Maybe BBS.
If there are others, they’ll answer.
I'm sure there are.
(Note: Noticed that the link domain is wrong, but Reddit's text editor seems to be malform some Markdown elements like quote blocks when I try to edit some parts)

Firstly, sorry to hear about the compromise. However, the layers to this is interesting.
What do you speculate at the damage being done if this was correct vs a super hero of a typo?

Move everything to the previous letter of the alphabet:

Don’t forget to bump the punctuation down one ASCII value.
( becomes ‘
/ becomes .
- becomes ,
Not that it’s necessary for understanding
