Help, my site has been hacked! Print

  • 0

If your account has been hacked, rest assured that it is not related to the security of the server. Our servers are equipped with modern security modules (such as Apache mod_security, Suhosin PHP, PHP open_basedir and others) and not a single account has been hacked on this server, which means that the problem is on your site.

The main reasons for website hacking:

- Outdated version of CMS (Joomla, WordPress, PhpBB, etc.). All popular scripts have security problems and for this reason it is always necessary to use their latest version.

- Plugin version is outdated. A similar problem occurs with third-party extensions that you use on the site. Don't forget to update your plugins regularly.

- Simple user/administrator password. Always use strong passwords for user accounts that have access to manage site content.

- Infected local PC. Some viruses can steal data from an FTP connection and then upload malicious scripts to the hosting. Regularly update your antivirus and scan your PC for malicious code.
