Possible Security Breach
-
Hello. I am experiencing a problem that may be due to a possible security breach.
I noticed that when I went on to my site here, a new button was created linking me to a site hosted in France. My site deals with medical information while the unauthorized site was linking to a french, bridal gown store. This was not an ad, but was rather integrated into the site and possibly the code.
I immediately reset the passwords, notified the users, and downloaded Simple History.
The next day (today) I see on Simple History, that someone tried to log in to the admin account on 141 occasions within the past day.
My questions:
1) Is Simple History showing this as a bug or is this an actual person or program?
2) How can I stop this person/program from doing this and what measures can I take in the United States?
3) I only saw one thing changed, but how can I run a diagnostic on my site (I have little knowledge on code, but I am a fast learner)
4) Do you have any suggestions as to what I can do to proceed?
Thank you to everyone who is reading this.
