    NOTE: the quickest way to find out if there has been a successful hack is to connect to your store via FTP and navigate to the "pc" folder. Once there, sort by DESCENDING DATE and look for any files that start with "gw" near the top of the list. Are there any? If so, you are likely a victim of this hack. Read the PDF document included in the patch for all the details on what to do next. Even if you don't see any modified files in the "pc" folder, you should read the PDF and update the store files as indicated.
