Hi guys,
Not sure how to name this but here's the deal:
I have a client that was supposed to pay me $6,000 to finish their new website (a LOT of content). I've been their webmaster for 2 years and the current site was designed by me.
It was agreed that they would pay me in 4 instalments of $ 1,500 for this job, but before the first payment I had to move overseas. They said they trusted me and that I could keep working on it from wherever i wanted. But now, for no good reason, just after the first payment (I was paid $1,500) they asked me to handover my job to the "IT team". I said that was not the agreement and that I wouldn't do it. Their IT team is useless, but they do have admin access to the domain and hosting info.
I had the passwords, but they changed them before all this happened and at the time I didn't actually care.
Now, I'm trying to talk to them nicely, they won't reply to my emails. They knew that one of the reasons I moved overseas was because I could count on this $$ as an initial support. I'm willing to take their site down if they keep bullshitting me. Some of you may think it is wrong, but I have the new website almost done and I just can't afford not being paid for it. This is the only way I may get their attention.
So well, to the question: How can I take it down if my admin access and ftp is revoked? it hasn't been (they trust me too much, they would never expect me to do this) and I still have ftp access. Is there a php file or something like this that can help me hack it?
