| | Recently my web site got hacked. Actually my former hosting provider got hacked and now when I visit my site it says that it is owned my some hackers. here is my site,
www.fitnesspro.woeps.com
My site is actually a hosted wordpress blog. I spent many days making it and now everything has gone wrong. I even set up an autoresponder.
Is there any way that I can backup my site? I can access my files from CPANEL and FTP. I did use backup from CPanel and downloaded my site and MYSQL databases. But can I use the same backup to restore my whole site (through cpanel backup-restore) to the astahost account when I get one? Is the change of the address going to be any major problem? Can I fix this address problem? Can I?
If any one is familiar with wordpress blogs please help! Anyone? |

You will have to work a little bit. for instance, probably, the server site has to be looked in each .ini file, in order to verify that the hostname is always "localhost". And also, be sure to have a sql backup of each of your databases. But, yes, it should be possible. At least, it's a good exercise. Of course, there is another solution : wait until your current provider gets rid of his hacker's problem !

Even then will it be safe to continue to be hosted there? Anyway thanks for the quick reply.

No, it's best to avoid using that webhost. Be sure to join well known webhosts to ensure that you won't get hacked by blackhat hackers. xboxrulz

Well obviously that host wasn't very good on security (or you didn't have a good password). Good thing no files were deleted, passwords weren't altered (I'm assuming because you said you could still access FTP/cPanel). I'm not very familiar with WordPress, but you can check all your links and URLs to make sure they are either relative or they go to your Astahost site. This may take from a few days to several weeks to backup, verify and restore. Good luck.

I would switch your host, obviously the one you have currently isn't secure enough. Your lucky though, the hackers didn't corrupt your site or do anything except alter the Index page, it was sort of like they gave you a heads up.

WordPress is very easy to install. Because of that, versions before 3.5 were found to have major security holes, that are widely known among hackers. Make sure you have 3.5 or 3.5.1 when you restore your website!

Those figures you mentioned are quite a thing of distant future - though Matt Mullenweg would be more than happy to set his eyes on 'em.  ----------------- Mea culpa!  (For those of you in Rio Linda: My Bad!) Thanks for the correction. docduke

If your old host cannot recover from a hacker attack within 24 hours, it's just a very poor quality one. I suggest switching to a new host, like astahost. Anyways, get an SQL backup and any other files you need (skins, etc) and upload them to your new host, and restore the SQL backup there. Edit the configuration file to the new host's details, and you're done.

I presume you have fixed this, since the page doesn't show any hacker messages of any kind.

How Insecure Is My Site..?
- trying to figure (0)
Hi, I started to design a vocable trainer and was presented with the difficulty of
password-protecting my user's data for the first time. My situation is the following: the data,
that I intend to protect is vocabulary, so, if people are not misusing it as a datashack, it
won't contain confidential data. So the risk is not really that people have to be worried about
hackers reading their darkest secrets. I just want to protect the information from the average
script kiddie and people who want to harm the service by fooling with user data. On the other hand,
