 * Our FTP was hacked moments ago, and now we want to restore it. But we forgot 
   to make a backup, as the site has only been running for a few hours.
 * Luckily, the only files that were deleted were the .php files in the public_html
   folder, all the maps and contents seem to be safe. This includes the database.
 * Now I want to restore the website using the standard wordpress site files (index.
   php etc..) but I no longer have the config files, how do I fix htis?

 * If you have access to your web site via cPanel or something like that, you should
   be able to get the username/password for your database. If you didn’t have many
   unique stuff in wp-config.php, you can just download WordPress and reinstall.
