This happened to me too just recently, Im also using hostwinds but im not blaming anybody here, Just re install Wordpress and install security plug in,then make sure WP is always up to date, goodluck.
Just speak to someone at Hostwinds and they will sought it for you. I had the same problem, was really pissed off cos I was selling some sites at the time
But they got my sites back within the hour.
My wordpress sites also been hacked few days ago the hacker was from turkey (he says that but lol) he only access to index.php and rewrite it.I use namecheap shared hosting for my sites.Also index.php is simple file which has just one function to load wordpress theme header or to say wordpress installation.
I just access through file manager from file cpanel and get back org wordpress index.php file.That's happen to me and how I fix that also.After that I search for maybe some other stuff maybe he left for backdoor and change all my ftp,wp passwords etc.
I hope that this can helpful for you too. Stay cool
I already create a support ticket on hostwinds.. hopefully they sort this out.. all my sites on hostwinds got hacked.. but my sites on ipage didn't.. But still i don't want to blame hostwinds.. I love hostwinds..
I was thinking maybe the softaclus install.. In Ipage i'm not using softaclus, instead simple scripts is used in ipage..
sounds like an outdated plugin or wordpress version was to blame. This happened to me last year, fuckers got like 80 of my sites in 1 go. Took me the best part of a week to recover from that. I updated all my wordpress versions and removed any non essential plugins from my directory.
Just avoid cracked themes. These themese will generate a custom hacked html/php page in each and every folder/domains.
Delete all the files & upload a backup.
