    Hi

    I have 3 wordpress blogs running on 1 host. Today all 3 sites has been hacked.

    Its seems that its only a defacement. That means that all my files in the root directory are deleted and replaced with the hackers index.html file.

    All other directories, wp-admin, wp-content and wp-includes are still there. My database is also intact.

    I don't have a backup of my root files, so what can I do to restore my data?

    Can I make my config.php myself and which causion should I take, before starting this project?

    Any help will be appriciated ;)

    Thanks

    Hi,

    You need to contact hosting service provider to provide and restore the backup of your site..after that do these:

    -> Upgrade your wordpress to the latest version
    -> reset all the password and set strong password
    -> do not use any vulnerable script
    -> install only those plugins which are compatible with your wordpress version

    Thanks,

    Shane G.
