here is my site... top10bestwebhosts.com.au but it has been hacked! Any ideas on how I can this miserable situation??
Security is very important. You can also set yourself up with a back up server so if you get hacked you can transfer your site to it while you fix your main site
Your website could have been hacked through a few different ways. Either you your self could have gotten hacked(keylogged, rat'ed etc,) and your password stolen, your website could be vulnerable to some form of web exploitation, or the server your websites hosted on is insecure.
Hello , Your site seems to be restored now . Please take precaution to keep the FTP password as Strong as Possible also the permissions on the site should be read only permissions . Please get this settings done from your hosting provider to avoid the next hacking attempt
Your web site is on a shared server or on a dedicated one ? There are certain limitations on a shared server where as you can tighten security to a great level on a dedicated server. Due to some limitations on a shared server, you can secure your web site to a specific level where as there is no any such restrictions on a dedicated server. If you are on a shared server then make sure you change password of your FTP, CP, email etc. periodically and keep it secrete. Make sure you use a strong password which should be at least 10 characters long and contain combination of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, special characters like @ # $ % etc. Second and most important thing is permissions of your web root. Make sure you have not assigned write/modify permissions on web root otherwise anyone can upload/modify pages into your web site. You can change/reset permissions from Control panel as well as from FTP client like FileZila You can ask your hosting provider to confirm if their server is secure and they have tightened the security. If the server itself is compromised then there will no mean to secure your web site. Its important to make sure whole server is secured.
Things like nii fairly common. And most problems occur is the strength of weak passwords that can be scanned. Your account may also be affected by Jumping so the actors can get into your database
Agree with some of the above fellow members. Contact your web administrator is the first thing. Secondly, bring your website offline so that you can work on the maintenance part. I hope you have made backups of it so restoring back the website to original state won't be that challenging. Thirdly, figure our where the security flaw is and patch it. Finally, restore the backups with the patched version.
Like any website no matter what it is, you should be holding backups of your accounts somewhere. If you have got a backup simply take the website offline and then restore the latest backup available. Depending on what has been hacked you may only have to do a partial restore e.g just files or mysql database etc. Once you have your website back ensure it is still offline or in maintenance mode as now you have to ensure your website is secure. Try to find out if your website was hacked via your website scripts or at a higher level e.g via your host's control panel.
contact webhosting provider is an solution .. "Fatal error: Cannot redeclare get_users() (previously declared in /hermes/bosweb/web151/b1519/ipg.jdubsice/top10bestwebhosts/wp-includes/user.php:632) in /hermes/bosweb/web151/b1519/ipg.jdubsice/top10bestwebhosts/wp-content/themes/top10bestwebsite/footer.php(1724) : eval()'d code on line 2397" It seem like an error in footer.php , try to replace this file with new one. (my opinion)
