RichCor Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Generally ZeroBurnner et. al. goes after sites that are easy to hack, has default passwords, or easy to guess (like, root / toor ) While you can TRY to delete the material they put in place, your best bet would be to: Change all your working passwords (FTP, ControlPanel, DataBase, etc.) EVERYTHING!! Back up the site, to keep as much original material for possible later recovery Erase the site, so no code left behind can reinfect the site Update/upgrade all the working elements to the latest version, hopefully they'll be more secure than what you had Follow suggestions for securing the site, best practices Rebuild the site Make sure any add-on elements/scripts you use are the latest versions and are good / clean If the site is important to you, keep an ongoing backup of the site (code and databases) Then, if the site has issues you can recover from the backup, change the passwords, upgrade versions and verify security. There is no magic button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
