ufodepot Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Someone hacked into my site and I want to restore from an old backup, but there have been new customers and orders since the hack. Which files have the customers and orders in them? Can I just restore the old backup and just replace the customers & orders files with the current ones? Is there anyway to stop people from hacking into my website. Look at my website http://www.ufoexpo.com. They added the elumeinc.com at the bottom. I never signed up or heard of this company. Does anyone know who they are or anything about them?
Guest Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Hope, NO files contain customer information, they are store in the database. You can restore your .php files using known CLEAN copies and still maintain your database information. This assumes your hacker did not gain access to your database.

And there are more "suspicous" looking files with unfamiliar names in the catalog folder that are either trojan uploaders or cmd shells.

Where do I find the database? Does it also have the information on all the orders and customer login creations? Can I just take it and copy it over to my older backup? Thanks for your Help. Hope

They even added a blog file next to the catalog file. What a mess they created. Where is the database file. Does it contain the customers, their logins and orders? Can I copy it over to my older backup and use it. There have been orders and new customers since my last backup. Thanks, Hope

How do I use it? What am I supposed to do with it? Thanks, Hope
Guest Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 Hope, It appears you have not been pro-active in maintaining your site. Site Monitor can be run as a CRON Job but you need to set it up that way. Otherwise, it is a manual function. I suggest you take down your site, clean it....secure it and then upload it again. This will be time consuming but it is the best way to accomplish the task efficiently. Chris

That is why I was hoping I could just take the customers and orders from my current website and put them into an older clean backup I have. Can that be done? I haven't a clue what CRON is either. I looked and I have an older version of SiteMonitor 1.9 and they are now up to 2.6 can I just update it or do I have to remove the 1.9 then install the 2.6? How do I set up CRON? I appreciate your help. I am not a computer wiz with this stuff and usually need explicit instructions. Thanks, Hope

Guest Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 Hope, If you have an older, clean version of your files........UPLOAD THEM. The database will remain the same (as long as no new contributions were added/removed between the old files and the current files). I answered your Site Monitor question in the other post. Chris
germ Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 There's a trojan in your backup and your admin is still a wide open door for anyone to hack you up again... :o If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

burt Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 If you do not feel confident then, spend money on getting professional help to cleanse and lockdown your site. As of right now, it is a matter of WHEN you get hacked again, not IF.
