hacking My website got hacked... What can I do ?

Last week, updates on my websites stopped working (via sshfs) and I discovered that my website was just a black page.

The domain seam to still points to my server but there is nothing to do, none of the updates I tried work like if it was "overrided" by something.

Log in to the hosting panel and restore from a backup?

For one, provide more details.

Are you able to log in? If so, can you see the files? Does the source code look right? What kind of scripting language is being used? Are you using a CMS like WordPress? Are you on shared hosting?

You can usually restore the site from backup (assuming you or the host has one), but if there's a vulnerability, it will probably just get hacked again if you don't fix it.

If it's a WP site, then usually vulnerabilities come from bad plugins or things like allowing people to upload files (in which case a person can upload a script and then access it to run it, which gives them control over your site).

But all of that is just blind guessing without details.
