Reply To: Site Hacked in middle of installing BPS

The odds that your site was hacked at the same time you were installing BPS Pro are pretty slim and probably the site was already hacked, but anything is possible so maybe your site was hacked at the same time.

The current hack is a defacement type of hack, but that could mean that your site was already hacked by another hacking group and then this hacker found your hacked site and then did this hack by using the Shell hacking script that the previous hackers uploaded to your site.  That is a very common thing.

What you want to do at this point is first is to change all of your passwords:  FTP, WordPress Admin Login, WordPress Database and Host Control panel login.  Then ensure 100% that the backup of the site that you have is really 100% clean and does not already include hackers files/code.

Next see this post as a reference.  You will either be restoring your site from a backup that you absolutely 100% for sure know is clean or you will be doing the steps in the link below.
