Hack Attack on my Website

This is real, I'm being wrongfully flagged and hacked(attempted). What should I do?!

I just discovered in an email from my website host that within a few days of Fukushima Central Television's wrongful DMCA attack on GoddardsJournal, an apparent effort to hack my website was thwarted by godaddy.

Curiously, right after the DMCA I posted the video to my website with a link to it on the top of my channel profile here. I even said let's see if FCT also tries to get godaddy to remove it. Then within a few hours or days it seems an effort was made to hack my website! So in fact everywhere that video went got attacked within a few days.

FCT attacked me with a DMCA on Aug 15 and this is the email notice that godaddy sent me on Aug 20 (I'd overlooked this email unit today when I found my site's FTP password fails and so I searched my inbox in case there was notice about that, and there was!) :

Dear Ian Goddard,

Earlier this week, the Go Daddy Information Security Team detected suspicious activity within your hosting environment. The investigation concluded someone was targeting customers' hashed FTP (Web hosting) credentials. The activity was stopped and we continue to monitor the situation.

Your Web hosting account for iangoddard.com was NOT impacted.
As a precaution, however, we have reset your FTP password.

If you use a content management system to manage your content, no further action is required.

If you do use FTP to manage your website, you will need to change your password before reconnecting. For instructions on how to change your FTP password, see our article, Resetting Your Hosting Account Password (FTP Password).

If you have any questions, please call our live, 24/7 customer support at (480) 505-8877.

Sincerely,

GoDaddy.com, Inc.

The hack effort and the DMCA attack may be a random coincidence.

I called godaddy and the operator said he was confident (but not absolutely certain) that the incident involved multiple domains experiencing the same hack effort. If so, my site was just a random target, by pure chance within hours or days of the DMCA.

I've been online since around 1990 and I've never been attacked before. So getting two separate malicious attack efforts within 5 days or less (versus zero over 20 years) can easily seem related! But I'm just going to chill for the moment.
