Hacked

[Basher B]

Dear Sir/Madam,

I went to my page ten minutes ago: thomasmcwhirter.com, and found that it has been replaced by another page. The logo of this new page is 'Hacked'.

What can I do?

Many thanks in advance.

Thomas McWhirter

Change your Cpanel password from Account Panel http://x10hosting.com/control and then login to Cpanel and delete which ever files you suspect hacked.

The very first thing to do it you believe you website has been hacked is to IMMEDIATELY change passwords related to the website. I would strongly suggest that you make new password at least 8 characters long and a mix of numbers and upper / lower case letters. You need to make sure new password is very strong and difficult to guess because it appears that somebody did guess your old one.

Dont share your password with anybody.Also check whether PC is infected with any keyloggers.And dont access your account from Public PCs .

I also remember another post where somebody walked away from their computer for a couple of hours without logging out of their web hosting account and a "friend" uploaded a prohibited script resulting in a suspension and account termination. Something else to ponder when reviewing your website security.
