Sorry if this is the wrong section for it but my blog was hacked http://www.melvinblog.com/ and I dont know what to do... other page such as about and archive seems to be working but hell the main page is crap... What do i need to do? I am panicking a little right now... please help me! thanks
Contact the web hosting? Just dont panic because if u do it wont help and it will make things even worse
What blog? Also, make sure you don't have any shells in your server, sometimes people who root you leave backdoors so they can access it again. Also, make sure how it is exactly that you got rooted.
i do have, but its a little outdated... so far i have just redirected the main page to the archives page... all page seems to be ok except to the main one... the about, advertise, contact, and even posts are ok, just the main page...
Don's say you got hacked, members will feel your a newbie and not want to come back to see your content. Also, search your site for any c99 shells, etc. Your antivirus on the server should be able to find it.
do you own the server or is it a server from the hosting? Contact your hosting, then upload the backup files again.
contact host master so he will reset your password,if the domain is hacked u can contact registrar and they will fix it for you.. shell is like a file which open ur site ports and they can access and upload shits into ur site again but most of these hacked sites are come from value.so i advice u change and upgrade ur blogging cms and first u need to format all of the files,if u go to ftp and check hidden files too,for sure u will find the shell(if they made it) peace
No a shell is a php code that give a hacker access to the server your hosted on. They are generally uploaded via an RFI or an sql injection.
correct me if im wrong but it looks like the top page alone is compromized. is your blog running wordpress? if so download the same version, reupload a fresh index.php and see if that works. also look in phpmyadmin to see if ur db is ok
my host is hostgator... thanks for the suggestions well appreciated... @casualmusic, yes only the top page, i was redirecting it now to the archive page so it wont look that bad...
