Website Hacked and Defaced

  • Hi my website has been hacked and defaced I cannot for the love of me recover my site, even though I have read through every forum and topic.

    I started getting like 50-100 contact form subscriptions all from russian email addresses. And now the website is completely defaced. I am currently manually reinstalling wordpress, but there are some files in the root directory which seem suspicious to me, but i am not sure if i can delete them or not.

    Can somebody help lead me in the right direction here?

    I would really appreciate it.

    Alex

  • You’re probably best removing them, then completely reinstalling WordPress or restoring from backups.

    Get a fresh cup of coffee, take a deep breath and carefully follow this guide. When you’re done, you may want to implement some (if not all) of the recommended security measures.

    tl;dr? Remove *all* .php files except wp-config.php and check that one carefully. Remove .htaccess.

    If you’re unable to clean your site(s) successfully, there are reputable organizations that can clean your sites for you. Sucuri and Wordfence are a couple.
