What will take First action in this situation

• Take your site offline so that it no longer serves content to users. For example, stop your webserver or point your website's DNS entries to a static page on a different server that uses a 503 HTTP response code.
• If you haven't already done so, contact your hoster to make them aware of the situation. If your hoster was also compromised, it may help them understand the scope of the problem.
• Perform thorough user account management.

1. View a list of your site's users accounts and check if the hacker created a new user account. If illicit accounts were created, write down the unwanted account names for later investigation. Then delete the accounts to prevent future logins by the hacker.
2. Change the passwords for all site users and accounts. This includes logins for FTP, database access, system administrators, and content management system (CMS) accounts.
