Our website http://www.leadingpractice.com/ has been hacked. When I first came to the frontpage, it was blank, and there was a short scroll text in the tab of my browser window (chrome), saying something like “Hacked by Peyman Sayhiri” (not sure if I got that name right).
I noticed that there had been a 4kb index.html uploaded to our root directory on the shared server on which our website is hosted, so I downloaded it and tried to open it (but avast stopped the process, thankfully).
Here is what Avast says about the file (it was moved to the virus chest):
Original file name: index.html
Size of the file: 3983
Category: infected files
Virus description: HTML:Defacement-V [Trj]
I tried deleting the file, but that did not open on the frontpage.
So what can I do about this?
PS: I will use the wordpress.org forums as well as our webhost to try and fix this problem, just thought I’d ask here too since I reckon there are some knowledgable people in here.
