This .files attack was common too. We posted about it a while ago:

btw your blogsite is very scammy looking.

I got a message from my host with a link to your site, where you instructed to download and install a file...and I was 100% sure that it was just just a scam, where you sent out spam messages pretending to be hosts, with a link to the blog post where you were asking me to download malware.

In fact I was in the process of contacting customer support of my host, when I noticed the letter I got in recent history.

You should really spend a little time making it look more legitimate,

You lost me there. We never sent messages to anyone to download and install files. Can you forward the email to me (dd at sucuri.net)?

*but I agree, we really need some improvements on our design.

what I meant was that I got a letter from my host telling me I got hacked(a week or so after I fixed everything)...and they linked to your site.

But after hitting your site, I got the impression that it was just a scam site trying to get me to install some malware.

Oh, sorry about that. I misunderstood it.

But it is nice to see hosting companies linking to us :) I am still looking for a designer to work on our blog/site.
