TYPO3 hacked: What to do if your website is no longer secure
Your TYPO3 website is under continuous attack on the web: Your TYPO3 website is no longer accessible? You have no access to the backend anymore? Your visitors are shown content that you have not published? - This sounds scary and that's why we stand by your side and advise you on the necessary steps to get your content management system working again!
TYPO3 is one of the most used and successful enterprise content management systems. Medium-sized and large companies all over the world run their corporate websites with TYPO3. The open source CMS is the best choice when it comes to developing complex, multilingual corporate websites. Companies appreciate TYPO3's high degree of customizability and the ability to expand the range of functions with so-called extensions. Behind TYPO3 is a large developer community that continuously develops the system, provides extensions and keeps it up to date. Nevertheless, hackers use security gaps in the CMS to attack your website.
Signs that your TYPO3 system is at risk
Even with seemingly perfect protection from TYPO3's security management or similar, your TYPO3 is not behaving as it should? Take a look at the signs to check if your site is affected:
- You can't log in anymore?
- Your website has changed without you doing anything?
- The content of your website has changed?
- Your site redirects to another site?
- When you or other users try to access the website, you get a warning in the browser?
- When you search for your website, Google gives you a warning that you may have been hacked?
- You have received a breach notification or an unexpected change from your security plugin?
- Your hosting provider has warned you about unusual activity
- on your account?
What do the attackers want to achieve with the hack?
The main goal is to be able to control the website account. By depositing webshell interfaces, remote access to the web server can be enabled. Also, hidden backdoors can be used to gain access again, even if parts of the malicious files have already been deleted. This gives the attacker a free hand and complete control. The following symptoms may occur:
Redirects & Pop-ups
When you open a web page in the Google search results, the actual page does not open, but you are redirected to a completely different domain with often dubious content. A random redirect can also be triggered during navigation after you have already triggered the entry via the hacked website.
Black-Hat SEO
The website content is placed in heaps with hard-fought keywords or the meta description is completely exchanged, where explicit specifications of Google are disregarded and subverted. Everything to strengthen the own ranking in search engines in an unnatural way and to manipulate artificially.
Spam emails
Using a spam script placed on the web server, the hackers send masses of spam mails. The result can be blacklist entries that later disrupt email traffic. Most web hosts recognize the sending of mass mails, so that this is often quickly stopped.
Virus & Malware Distribution
If your website distributes viruses or malware, this can have far-reaching consequences and should best be shut down immediately. Your site visitors catching malware should be avoided at all costs. Extortion software can lock your PC and then demand a ransom for its release.
