Site Hacked and Down Via Downloaded Theme HELP!!!!
-
In an attempt to speed up our site build we purchased a third party theme through a site themeforest.net the theme was titled Minimalisto
the site was hosted with Heart, Heart came back to us and informed us that the site was running a permanent server process, after delving deeper into the issue this is the email they sent back
“Our admin team have had a look at the site for me, and I am afraid that they have found evidence of the site being compromised. It looks like the original crack occurred through the minimalisto theme that you have installed. Now that the site has been cracked there is no way of telling just how many files on the site are infected, and I am afraid that the only cure will be to clear the webspace, and perform a fresh installation of wordpress once this is done. I apologise for the inconvenience, but to reactivate the site with any files on it would only serve to allow the hack in again.”
as you can imagine our site is down. and the prospect seems grim, im not sure which direction to move in here, can you shed any light on this issue
Thanks very much for your time
Tom
