'Hacked by Swan' what does this mean?

Hi , was hoping someone here could tell me what does ''Hacked by Swan' actually mean?
Who is Swan?
I put it here because I'm guessing it some sort of 'Hacking' program put into peoples web sites .
:shk:
Thanks!

I am not sure who Swan is, but it sounds like you got hit with an SEO attack. Either that or a php hack. Either way, there are updates against these, so make sure that your site is coded in the latest available security technology.
As to Swan, that is probably just a name that was used for this particular round of attacks. It is likely that there are a lot of sites with similar pages.

Thanks for the reply!
