Hi,
Very sorry to hear this. It’s crazy that people do this, though you have some remedies.
1. Contact your web host.
If your web host maintains daily and weekly backups, hopefully they will be able to recover your website from prior to this event.
Once they do so, you’ll want to run not walk to ensure all of your passwords are changed, and ensure all scripts on your site are updated.
2. Web host has no backups?
Ok, so your web host has no backups (which is pretty much criminal in the hosting biz). If this is the case, you’ll need to log into your website via FTP and start looking around for newly dated files, then work to remove any hacker code you find in them.
3. After action?
Well, once you clean things up it’s time to start looking at future solutions. Proactive security is your friend.
_x_ Check your scripts for version updates at least once a month.
_x_ Only host with a web host who maintains “weekly” backups and who does not charge for backup recovery.
_x_ Install Bulletproof Security and File Monitor Plus so you’ll know when changes are made to your website (and it’s free).
_x_ Change your WordPress admin pass and FTP pass at least quarterly (mark your calendar).
So these are the basics. You can do a lot more by only hosting with web hosts who make security their top priority (i.e., discuss security on their home page).
Otherwise, I hope all goes well with you.
H!
i’m very sorry, i decided to stop defacing website.
