It's not your computer that was hacked, it was your Website's server. Sounds like you used filezilla to upload your website files, and the username, password was sent/uploaded as plain text . . . I don't use filezilla, but I would check in the settings to see if you can encrypt your username/password.

I suggest you call your website hosting provider, and get them to change your passwords. Also ask them about encrypting your username/passwords in the future.

Not a good idea to use your real name as a forum username or to have your name, address, e-mail and phone number available to all and sundry who know how to do a whois domain lookup.

You really need to have a chat with your hosting provider and get things fixed.
