Unwelcome user (Hacker)
-
Yesterday I visited a seldom used section of my WP site.
The Users tab.I noticed that an unknown user had set up residence. For an unknown length of time.
As fast as you could slap a mosquito off your arm, I deleted the user. Then I deleted the other known user leaving me as the only user, as if I was killing snakes.
Then I changed my administrator pw.
I also called my Host and took steps to set the site up with a SSL certificate.Today, I seem to have control of the website, but do I?????
Now that I have had the time to exhale.
Did I do the right thing?
What else do I need to do to make my site secure?
Did I delete valuable information about the intruder?My website is banging on some VERY powerful hornets nests, and I am a little paranoid of reprisal. Both for me, and my peeps.
I am not a web designer by trade and have no clue who to trust.
