Aftermath of hacking
-
A couple of weeks ago, one of the websites I manage was hacked. I think it was a type of URL injection; there were files uploaded into the FTP in a folder, and although it didn’t seem to affect the site, Google had put a “this site may have been hacked” warning in their search results. The hacking has been resolved now, but I’m worried about some issues with Google Analytics.
Over the past week, there’s suddenly been a huge amount of spammers trying to link to the files that were uploaded during the hack. I gather that I can’t remove or delete specific stats in Analytics to get my data back to normal, but I’m concerned that there’s still something wrong with my site. Scans with Sucuri and firewall plugins haven’t come up with anything malicious. Does anyone know how I can fix this problem?
Here’s an example of the spam links I’ve been getting: https://s31.postimg.org/ltxlth4qz/spam_links.png
