I'm not sure how or why, but this is the second time my site has been hacked... I'm going to be taking all precautions needed to prevent this nuisance from occuring a third time so if you guys have any advice, that would be awesome. www.dreaminnovation.com The first time was easily solved by restoring my wordpress folders, but now, I don't know how to fix this. I've restored my primary theme, Thesis, but I suspect that the hackers modified something else. Is there anyway for me to pinpoint what they've done and where?
I don't know how you would find who they are. Someone I used to know had a similar problem and ended up closing down their website.
YOu should secure your wordpress with security scanner plugin: http://www.flamescorpion.com/2010/04/secure-your-wordpress-with-security-scanner-plugin/ About the restore, try to restore all your files, including wordpress files, not only the main theme.
Well... I'm not expert here so I could be completely off, but what could a person achieve by editing index.php in the public html folder? Because from the times changes occured, that is the only file that differs compare to every other file. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Yes, I confirmed it, and I, with no doubt, believe it is the index.php file. Unfortunately... I hadn't yet made a backup copy of all my files. Is there anyway to restore or get a new file of index.php?
1) download a new copy from http://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/ of the version of wordpress installed on your website. 2) extract the index.php from that fresh copy and replace your index.php with that. 3) change wordpress login password.
