Incident response

My Business Website Was Hacked

Quick answer

Preserve what you can see, secure the accounts that control the site, and involve the host or a qualified responder before deleting suspicious content.

Who this is for: Business owners or agencies seeing redirects, injected pages, warnings, or unknown changes.

What to do

  1. 01Record affected URLs, timestamps, screenshots, and provider notices.
  2. 02Secure email, registrar, hosting, CMS, and administrator accounts.
  3. 03Ask the host for logs and snapshots before cleanup.
  4. 04Rebuild from trusted code and verify the site after credential rotation.

What this does not cover
