Hello all

I have been searching the internet for help with our problem and hoping someone can help.

Our website has been hacked by:
Hacked By CyberLord Please Search ISLAM

The website is gone, but luckily we have the whole programme on disc.

The story is this could just be coincidence.
We had a young guy make our site, he was letting us down so we had him change host so we could control the site. An old friend of ours helped as he is a computer programmer. He said there were no security settings to protect our site at all, so he installed some.

Everything ok for 2 days.

This morning at 3.30am we received sms from the young guy saying we should look at our site urgently

Questions:
Why was he on our site? (although he does stay up late working)
We have since learned that he has hacked before, did HE do it out of spite?

Where do we go from here? Can we upload the information back to the site?
We are contacting our host in about an hour as they haven't started work yet. I've been up since 4.30am this morning in a right flap. We have only been running for about 3 months, so much hard work has gone into this. I am gutted.

Do we report this to anyone?

Please please please can anyone offer advice or information. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you all in advance

Hi,

Probably yes, but it depends on country/jurisdiction. Maybe your hosting company will know more ...

Ask your hosting company for any logs they may have. Not just counter, but web server access logs, web server error logs, network logs if they have any, if the web server is apache and they have mod_sec with some logs and so on ... You may need this in court.

If you report to someone, they may need to see the site. Be shure you made a copy of the hacked site.

You have 2 possibilities... either this person is at fault, or you have another hacker....

Check which modules you are using haven't had any recent security issues (myads - for example - recently has had an isssue which was fixed) and ensure when your site is installed that you upload the "protector" modules... which is very recommended indeed.

Also ensure that you have applied the recent security fixes that we've put on the site.

Hi all

Well it's sorted and I would like thank everyone who helped.

We (finally) managed to get hold of our hosting company who informed us that between 2-3am this morning, thousands of sites were hacked in the same way as ours. They told us what to do and was done within 5 mins.

Thank you again for all your help.

Please make sure you install "protector" - as it will help prevent many other attack types.
