[Hidden-tech] WP Web site it by Trojan Horse... can anyone help?

[Town Websites]

Ditto that.  First step is to get control back over the control panel with
help from Dreamhost tech support.  If you were secure up till today ask them
to restore from the last backup before today, change your password
immediately, and try to resolve what got hacked as it will be hacked again
if you don't fix it (unless they just cracked your password).

Hi David,

 

Sorry to hear your sites got cracked. I don't think there's any way of
getting around working via SSH and following Dreamhost's instructions since
an important part of it probably involves running grep searches to look for
infected files. I'd doubt the Back Office allows you to to that. 

 

Maybe you can get the Dreamhost folks to check the server logs and restore
files from backup to a clean version of the site? 

 

Obviously you'll need to patch whatever security holes allowed the intrusion
by updating any server side software apps on which your sites run.

 

Good luck,

Kimo

 

PS: Nice running into you at Fresh Side the other day!
