"SysAdmin Survival Mode: My Server Got Hacked... Again"

[Probel[CCCP]]

"Ugh, been there, done that... my server got hacked again last night and I'm still trying to figure out how it happened this time. I've had it set up for about 6 months, with a decent security setup, but I guess that's not good enough. Anyone else had a similar issue and have some tips for me to prevent it from happening again?"

"No way, that's like the 5th time I've seen you post about getting hacked LOL. Seriously though, maybe time to get some 2FA and firewall settings in place to prevent future incidents?"

"Dude, sorry to hear that. What kind of server setup did you have? Was it a cloud or dedicated box?"

 

[Sheber]

"Dude, sorry to hear about your server getting hacked for the 2nd time. You might wanna look into 2FA and a more robust backup system to prevent this in the future. Also, have you checked if any weak passwords or outdated software were a contributing factor?"

"Lol, sorry to hear that dude. What's the OS and software stack on that server? You might wanna consider a security audit and tightening up those firewall rules ASAP."

"Dude, sorry to hear that for the umpteenth time. Make sure you're running the latest versions of your software and firewalls, and consider setting up 2FA for all admin accounts ASAP. You should also check your server logs for any suspicious activity."

"Ouch, that's gotta be frustrating! Did you manage to roll back to a safe backup or are you starting from scratch again? What were the attackers after, just data or something more sinister?"

 

[Gett]

"Sorry to hear that OP, been there done that. One thing I've learned is to keep a close eye on security updates for your OS and any plugins or software you're running. Have you checked your server's logs for any clues on how they got in?"
