Guide to Successfully Recovering From A Hacked WordPress Website
So, you're the prey of a Hacked WordPress Website? Most of us spend our time online creating great content for others to enjoy. Whether it be for enjoyment or part of one's master SEO plan in the works. Then, one morning you awake to locate your content is gone or website defaced by some unknown entity.
Many times the first reaction is obviously to panic and call 911, however, this isn't this kind of time. You should do something quickly to reclaim your website before search engines themselves realized you have been hacked and blacklist your website. You can contact weleakinfo team to reclaim your website.

First Mission
Scan all systems used to access your server and by extension your WordPress website. You will need to guarantee the vulnerability did not focus on you and your machines so this will be first on the agenda. Once you are able to safely eliminate your machines, weleakinfo team can move ahead to another mission
Second Mission
Scan your server and system files with a trustworthy online malware and virus scanner. You may also download your files to a quarantined section of your drive for scanning as well to see if your machine's antivirus software will have a way to pick up on any malicious code.
Third Mission
Change all passwords. I'm not merely speaking about the WordPress admin password. I'm also these are server passwords, cPanel logins, FTP usernames, and passwords also change your secret keys used for the WordPress sessions. This may revoke any active logins with the old usernames and passwords for the WordPress website. So yes, it's highly important you change these immediately!
Fourth Mission
Many people might tell backup the prevailing site but a critical thing to perform is obviously to revive from a prior known safe copy of one's website. This may have an adverse effect in your content particularly when your blog or website incurs many changes in an instant space of time however the great qualities grossly outweigh the cons in this situation. Once you actually do an entire database and content restore I'd recommend dumping the prevailing database and performing a new install from the WordPress website itself, then performing the restore function. This may ensure your core files are malware code free!
Fifth Mission
Upgrade your complete website, change all passwords, FTP details and server access information again. Perform a full backup of one's WordPress content and website. Your passwords should be changed regularly and as often as you can. You need to utilize a signal manager such as for instance LastPass or KeePass to keep an eye on all the password changes you do on every different website.
