Updates Or What?

Our server was hacked in by bruteforce which, if you don't know allows you to enter the system blocked by a user or some kind of authentication system. We thought it was an unintentional host shutdown and that the passwords were changed when I (Willi) attempted to login onto the VPS.

But later in the day, when the admins of Maple-Hosting went in, they realized we were compromised of our website files (which were somewhat recovered but some features are outdated or not working), our database (our latest backup is when we started to use the VPS, but don't worry more information at the end), and the server files (which we can recover).

As with our database being taken away, this is a big step backwards. We are in the process of recovering our database and attempt to look for backups that were closer to today's date so we can minimize the rollback caused. The rollback will ultimately affect users whose accounts were created during the time from the beginning of the VPS move to today.
