Dreamhost does have sftp support (which I'll be using from now on of course) which is a plus. I'm not sure if it's better or not that the problem was on Dreamhost's side and not mine. On the bright side that means I don't have to worry about keyloggers at the moment. Turns out this is a bigger problem than just me. 3500 dreamhost accounts were compromised.

I'm had a very strong password but yet still was able to be compromised.

Someone hacked in and replaced the index.* files with their own files, which interestingly were forms that went nowhere. Not sure what good that did anyone, but I had to re-upload all the index.* files and change the passwords. I had this happen a couple of months ago with TWO of my client’s accounts.
