I Just Got My Websites HACKED!!

Stop using nulled/pirated themes/plugins/scripts ;)

What ever caused the hack, I would suggest getting archive of your database and export your posts which to import latery in the fresh installation.

And of course... get your theme/plugins from the original source!


This is not always the case!

Also " You just ask for the latest backup to be restored for the website in question. "

Restoring an already infected backup won't help at all in long term.

By the way , the new fancy malwares are cryptominners , yet to be detected with malware scanners.

If $240/m is not milking customers for money for a simple older uninfected restore than i dont know what is.

"Restoring an already infected backup won't help at all in long term" - Its much easier to find and repair the issue before it happens than after.

Fixed the problem, extremely grateful for every single one that commented on this thread. Especially thankful for @virtualpurity, who managed to fix my issue all the way. This is why BlackHatWorld is the best internet marketing forum in the whole universe!
 
Glad it's fixed!

A quick tip! Check all your websites and make sure they are as they're supposed to be. If your host used a backup from a previous date the problem might be fixed but the websites are an older version than what they should be. Read the text on your sites and all to be super sure. :)

But if you rarely do changes to your sites then I'm guessing all is good!

I'm sure that OP asked HG to FIX -> clean his websites and not just providing backup! Because backup is not a FIX!

Looks that someone have skip the basics...

If you believe that backup of infected website is not infected I'm ok with :) especially with the same theme/plugins and so on.
I bet 0.1 zec that his websites if stay with the backups will be hacked again.

Restoring a backup is not a fix, websites are infected long before hackers sniff inside.
 
You should have a backup - then hire an expert to harden your server before going back online.
 
Where you've contact the hacker with? Let me negotiation,I'm from Indonesia. Maybe I can help for you sir.

Dont get your nose so far ahead, it blinds you. I didnt said that the backup is not infected , i just said that restoring the backup and trying the plug the hole before it get exploited is much easier than dealing with god knows how many tempered files after the hack.
