Being hacked by Seif Jelidi

  • I’m totally upset and in tears. Someone calling himself Seif Jelidi has hacked my website https://www.arihoma.com. It’s the first time something like this has happened to me.
    It is my online portfolio and I need it back and working to apply for University. What can I do?

    Thank you for your help.

    Hey there! My condolences I know how you are feeling! I checked t-p’s links and followed the steps in the FAQ. What worked for me was reload of a backup of by my hosting provider.
    I hope I’ll be spared now and I hope you can get your’s fixed too!
    Good luck!

    I too got hacked by this same hack. I have it running again by replacing the index.php file but im concerned there are more files in there some place? Also I removed a plugin I was using to remove the new admin bar that appears on the 3.1 WP. That was the only thing I installed in the last week so I decided to remove it as it could have been the reason for this hack – im not sure really.

    I found the guy & emailed him. He sent me my login details and hadn’t deleted anything.

    Wake up call for me.

    I fail to appreciate why people feel that is is the way to being noticed. With these skills the person would be better off using them productively.

    My hosting company was able to reinstate my site and advised my web developer on actions to take to mitigate the risk of this happening in future.

    This persons actions do not reflect well on the beliefs of this person and their fellow countrymen.

    My site has been hacked by Seif Jelidi last night/this morning and I have no idea what to do. Without the website my online business cannot operate ??

    Please can anyone help at all?

    Login to your site through FTP and look for the index.php file and delete it and replace it with your original index.php file – this will at least get your site back online. Then go through your plugins and remove any that could be weak in terms of security

    Thanks for the reply allmymoney, much appreciated!

    I’ll try this.

    Thanks allmyhoney….sorry!

    What chance have I got when I clearly can’t even type?!! Lol

    @avizent,

    My hosting company was able to reinstate my site and advised my web developer on actions to take to mitigate the risk of this happening in future.

    for the benefit of all forum users, can you share what those actions are? Thanks.

    Hi
    I found this YouTube video.. which explained how to get back access to the admin login.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiMyZSLu5Zs

    I informed my IP hosting company and suggested they track the IP of the hacker and block it before other sites they host are compromised.

    And the hosting company reverted the site to a backup… which worked but the formatting /template is compromised so I have an IT guy going over the site and getting it back so this guy has caused me financial cost.

    Why can’t people like this step into the other persons shoes that way they would appreciate the consequences of their actions. How would this person like having their site / PC ransacked?

    Some feedback from my hosting company:

    It is difficult to say in which way you website was hacked. Probably, surfing the internet you clicked on a link that allowed a person to access your web browser cookies where all passwords are cached. Please do not click on any suspicious links in the internet or spam messages.
    As you probably know your login info can be taken from your browser’s cache by some virus, then credentials to access your hosting account can be delivered and used by somebody else. So, the most vulnerable place can be your own PC and I do advise you to check it with help of some good anti-virus software and then change the login info to access any area of your account.

    and

    You have to make sure all software, all the modules and plugins used for your site are secure and fully patched, so that they do not have program holes. And it is strongly recommended for you to check your file/folder permissions which should be 644 for files and 755 for folders and executable files (scripts).

    Hi all my site was hacked by this guy last night too! quite a shock this morning when my client told me ?? Anyway he’s clearly talented if a little misdirected. Jameswhitty I notice you found the guy – how was this done?

    Were all of you using WordPress 3.1 (and not the most recent update 3.1.1)? I got hacked and I’m not sure how I got hacked. Maybe it was WordPress 3.1. My hosting account was hacked and the host could not tell me how the hacker gained access.

    If all of you getting hacked were using 3.1 (and not 3.1.1), then that is probably how I got hacked, too.
