We have had mulitple reports today from various users who have had their wordpress web sites defaced by "BangladeshGreyHatHackers".

All the users affected are users who have kept the default wordpress username "admin" in place.

We do warn our customers that when installing wordpress you should at the very least, apply these basic steps to securing wordpress.

see: http://www.ukcheaphosts.com/support/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=41

So, if you still have the username "admin" in your wordpress install, then remove it right away.
