My website was hacked....

Thunder Digitals · Dec 18, 2020

Hello guys, how you doing? my website was filled with spammy pages some months ago don't know how that happened. But there was a hosting speed issue so I was not doing much on that site but recently I changed the hosting of that website to my new shared hosting. Then I was receiving emails that "malicious attempt on your hosting account" and also hackers make the site default and remove everything. So I remove the site from the hosting.

But there were 6 articles on that website in which 3 or 4 articles were ranking on the 2nd or 3rd page of google.

My question is if use those articles on my other money site then would there will be a problem? or should I spun then use them?

Waiting for your opinion, thanks!

if you just move them to a new site it will be fine.

Do a redirect to your new site or delete them and then use them

Then there won't be a duplication issue?

Probably using a bad plugin.

well if its still on the old page and ranking then it might not rank anymore, or you might be able to outrank the original if you promote it good enough

option 1 - same domain (URL)
setup your current domain on a new hosting account - i assume you already have backup of your site (working one without spammed) , delete everything from your old hosting account.

option 2 - new domain (URL)
setup website on a new domain and add all content on new domain and do a 301 redirect from your old website.

let me know if you need any help , i will do it for FREE for your. i have 1-2 free hours so thinking to help someone without charging

have you used the contact form 7 plugin?

If you wish to keep the domain then you have some work to do, and it's gonna be a real pain (been there once when a client tried to get a "free" version of a premium plugin that I recommended). Otherwise, you can do as some stated above and redirect to your new website.

Nulled theme or crappy plugins is ALWAYS the case.
Just saying.
