What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NJ

Hi,

An outsourced programming company I used to build my website contacted me the other day to tell me to change all my website passwords; which I did, because they said that their computers could have been hacked into.

Now today, I have a "live chat" option on my site and I notice a site with my exact website but they just changed the logo and I guess some links still redirect to my site so this is why I noticed it.

I don't know what to do now; fortunately I did a whois on the person and they are in the same US state as I'm in.

Is there anything I can do? How can I get their site shut down for stolen source code?

Thank you!
