Hacked Websites / Hijacking C2R Portal

This is a complicated and confusing topic, but if you own a website and it has been defaced, taken over, or is running code that you did not install - it is imperative that you contact your Web Hosting Service immediately.

In some cases the website has to be taken off-line in order to root out the malicious code. In other cases, shoring up security measures is a must to prevent repeat occurances.

Often times this requires working in concert with your hosting provider to rectify the situation. Make sure you have phone numbers and contact information prior to launching a website.

If your website contains personal data (like in the case of a e-commerce site) you need to verify the integrity and confidentiality of the data within your repository.
