FAQs

Hacked Server Recovery FAQs

Answers for teams dealing with a compromised server.

What is hacked server recovery?

Hacked server recovery is the work of removing an intrusion and bringing a compromised server back to normal. It covers cleanup, data restore and fixing the weakness the attacker used.

What is server forensics?

Server forensics is the process of collecting duplicate copies of evidence from a server to prove facts in a court of law or in audits. Engineers work on copies so the originals stay unchanged.

What should I do first if my server is hacked?

Do not delete files or reinstall yet. Change key passwords from a clean device, then contact our team so we can isolate the server and save evidence.

Why isolate a hacked server?

Isolation stops the attacker from reaching other servers and stops outbound spam or attack traffic. Evidence also stays frozen for the investigation.

How do you find out how the hacker got in?

Engineers study logs, changed files, user accounts and installed software to trace the mode of operation. That trail points to the entry point.

Can you recover my data?

Data comes back from clean backups or unaffected files. We check backups for infection first, since a copy made after the breach can carry the same backdoor.

Is reinstalling the server enough?

Not on its own. Fresh installs without a fix for the weak point leave the same door open, and restored files can bring backdoors back.

How long does recovery take?

Time depends on how many servers are affected and how deep the intrusion goes. Our scope and severity check gives you an estimate early on.

Will you keep me updated?

Yes. Frequent follow ups mean you know what we found and what we changed at every stage.

Can you help when my IP is blacklisted?

Yes. Our server abuse handling team stops outbound spam and answers abuse complaints.

How do I stop a repeat attack?

Server hardening closes unused ports, patches software and tightens access after cleanup. Regular server security audit work catches new gaps.

Do you recover servers hosted elsewhere?

Yes. Our engineers need remote or console access, and the server can sit with any provider.
