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- Outdated scripts (e.g., Joomla, WordPress) vulnerable to database injection or remote file inclusion.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/.
