Possible new hack [ redacted ]

Post by daveburstein » Wed Jan 20, 2021 2:12 am

Got hacked about 90 minutes ago. Defaced hacked by [ redacted ]. Google search shows it is rapidly spreading but finds little information. Standard security scans don't have details.
Rapidly spread through 6 sites on same server, 3 joomla, 3 Wordpress.
Advice needed:
1- Blocks administrator with hack screen. To get to my security software, I need to get in. Any ideas how to bypass? All files are there in ftp, look right.
2- Other advice?

Puts in an index.php file beginning like this. When I delete it, still hacked. Am checking database for odd files.
