Website Hacked. Need Help please

    Hi all,

    Ok, my websites are hacked. About all 10 of them.

    I know it happens to others and I know it will be solved.

    However, I’m still stuck with a couple questions. Here goes:
    All my websites run onder one host (Servage.net). I have scanned a few files and all .htaccess files are infected and other files as well. I’ve deleted some of the .htaccess files in the different root folders, but they keep coming back.

    How do I stop this (preferrably without deleting the root folder(s))?
    And if it comes to restore’s of backups (which I have), how do I prevent a clean site being infected by the one’s I haven’t cleaned yet (I can only restore them one at a time).

    thx!

    Ok, that makes sense.

    Thx

    Is there a way to find out (scan) what virus / hack it was?

    Something like an online scan?

    Try the scanner at http://sitecheck.sucuri.net/scanner/ — they’re very up to date on which exploits are out there in the wild, and the information they provide when they find something is solid.

    I’ve heard of them, and indeed, when my sites were hacked it showed maware.

    Ive cleaned up everything (back up restore 🙂 ) so it shouldn’t show anything.

    I’m curious to know How I was Hacked and what the hack was.

    In addition I’m curious if any of the extra security measures I took will make a difference.
    In ither words, is there a site where I can “test” hack my site and see how secure it is?

    There is no specific site for that but there are a number of tools, such as WPScan which you can use to scan your website and they will report to you if you have something vulnerable.

    WPScan: http://wpscan.org/

    Hi WPProHelp,

    Thanks for the link.
    Looks impressive!

    I’ve downoaded the zip file, but it’s so impressive I dont know what to do with it.
    It looks like it uses old type Dos command style…

    Sorry to be so ignorant!

    It is actually a command line tool that runs on Ruby. If you let us know your URL and give me permission, I can run a number of scans against your website and send them to you.

    Thought it was something like that…

    Thanks for the offer to help.
    But (with the utmost respect), I’m having a little difficulty giving others permission to my site.
