Your website may have been hacked due to vulnerabilities. Investigate and resolve with these steps:

  • Possible Causes:
    • Stolen FTP credentials via trojans or spyware.
    • Compromised control panel passwords.
    • Outdated scripts (e.g., Joomla, WordPress) vulnerable to database injection or remote file inclusion.
  • Actions:
    • Scan your computer for malware.
    • Change FTP and control panel passwords via My Account > Change Login Credentials.
    • Check for suspicious email/FTP accounts in the control panel.
    • Download files for comparison, remove all files, and reinstall fresh scripts.
    • Restore clean backups and reconnect to the database.
    • Install security plugins like https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-wp-security/.
