Your hosting service should provide it. • FTP/sFTP info: hostname, username and password • Backups: If you have any website backups Get in Touch with Your Hosting Provider If you don’t use your own servers, there’s a possibility that your hosting provider will now more information about the hack. When you own a website that is on an unusual, shared server, other domains on that server might also be under attack. Your hosting provider can offer you full assistance in cleaning your website, especially if you’re not the only one with the issue. Temporary Take Your Website Offline While you’re locating and resolving the issue, it is best to keep your website down. This way you won’t expose the visitors to any potential risks. Your hosting CP should have an option to shut down your website for some time. If you can’t find the option, you may place password protection on your main directory so the visitors can’t access it. Check Local PC For Malicious Data A lot of time hackers access your website by breaching your local PC and stealing your website’s credentials. If you don’t protect your system from viruses, spyware, and other malicious data, you are prone to cybercrime. There is a lot of free antivirus software that you can get online such as AVG antivirus or Avast that should deal with this issue.

So, before you are unable to access it, you should back it up to another place until you fix clean your website. Also, sometimes the code may be invisible to the tech team, support, and even the server hosting team. If that’s the case, you will need to delete all the files and the database from your server. Change Every Password Once you or the tech team enter, scan, and backup your website, you need to change every password on your website. This includes all passwords, mailboxes, FTP passwords, etc. You need to change all your previous user info. Examine the Website Files Examine your website logs for first instances of unusual traffic spikes, a large number of visitors from a country that you didn’t focus on, and other strange activities. This can help you to find out when the hacking happened. You should also check all the software, third-party apps, and extensions. Check if they are up to date, and find on the internet if other users had issues with them. In the end, look for a ‘.htaccess’ file. The intruder can use this file in the code to redirect your website’s visitors to a different website with malicious data. Before You Put The Website Online – Protect It Once you see that the coast is clear, you should protect your website before putting it back online. First, make sure to protect your local PC. Since this is a place where you administer all your website activities, intruders can steal your website’s credentials. Next, always update all your extensions and plug-ins. The outdated versions are a big security risk. Last, install security applications and web applications to further secure your website. Also, make sure to frequently back up all your files in case that hacking happens again and erases all your website data. You Can Recover If you are a victim of a website hack, you may lose a lot of nerves, time, and money before you fix the issue. But, the most important part is that you can recover from it. Just be quick to react, and don’t hesitate to ask for technical support.
