Did my AWS lightsail wordpress instance get hacked
-
I have been learning wordpress and so I installed bunch of plugins. After working for 2 days suddenly, my website stopped working so I went inside AWS lightsail console to check on my instance. It was not there.
2fa was not enabled on my account which I am not sure got disabled after I created PHPMyAdmin access or what.
But when I go in lightsail there is no instance. So, I called Amazon basic support and they said they can’t find any record of my instance. This doesn’t make sense as I have the AWS nameservers and static ip.
So, my question is:
(1) did it get hacked because for some reason 2fa got disabled
(2) can wordpress plugins really delete my AWS instance also
(3) can creating sanpshot on AWS lightsail help me recover the content in case of a hack?
(4) does 2fa prevent a rogue plugin from deleting my content?
How do I stop a rogue backdoor plugin from doing the above?
I am sorry I don’t know where else to go for this question.
