WE GOT HACKED!!!! ,ARE YOU SAFE? (Wordpress Site Redirect Hack Solution)
WE GOT HACKED!!!!!
PROBLEM:-
VidhyashalaAcademy.com (a site built for a client couple of years ago) was compromised and replaced with a blank page.
The wp-admin redirected us to yogasana website.
THE REASON:- This might have happened as we did not have an SSL Certificate.
SOLUTION:-
(This solution Worked for us, might or might not work for you as viruses are pretty complex)
Step 1:-
Scan for viruses using the c-panel virus removal tool and remove any detected viruses.
This should stop redirecting your site but might Ask you to a fresh install, Solution in Step2 ).
Step 2:-
Most Hosting Sevices Auto Backup Lot of data and can be Found in C-Panel under Backups
Go there and click on the restore button besides download wp-content.php in /wp-admin
If Like us you don't get a restore button You Will have to download the "/wp-admin/wp-content.php"
file and manually replace it with this old version from the File Manager in Your C-Panel.
NOTE:- IF LIKE US EVEN YOU DONT HAVE AN SSL CERTIFICATE FOR YOUR WEBSITE, PLEASE GET ONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
