Unhack my biz website
« on: November 14, 2016, 07:55:51 AM »
So, my website got hacked and fixing it is beyond my technical capability. I planned to hire Sucuri for this, but if anyone here wants to offer their services, please PM and we can negotiate.

Have you contacted your hosting company? They might be able to restore a backup?

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm with Dreamhost and they do nothing as far as I know.

Dreamhost does keep backups.  (Dated information, they did in 2013).  Contact them immediately, don't just assume they are useless!

In the future, keep your own backups.  If I recall correctly they have a button you can click to download a manual backup.

If you run a business online, you need to be doing this or paying someone to do it for you.

I do have backups, but I need help restoring everything and patching whatever vulnerability led to the hack in the first place.

Give us some details. Are you using a template like wordpress? Have you taken the site down yet, pending review?
