My droplet on digitalocean was disconnected from the network after it contributed 156,933 pps to a 156,933 pps Distributed Denial of Service attack! I didn’t know what to check so for each account I have a backup and now I installed a fresh hestiacp on another droplet but I am afraid to just restore those account backups ( mostly WordPress installs ). Is there anything I can do to check for infected or malicious code within my backups before restoring! Thanks in advance!
Clean install of Wordpress:
Install DB
Download again the theme files / plugins
Remove all non image files from uploads
And then pray if everything still works…

oh man, I had DO NUKE my servers, erased them all including backups back when VestaCP had a vuln. It must have been ~6 years ago. I actually had thought at THAT time that Vesta had done one HELL of a job of rewriting their software authentication system in a reasonable amount of time.
I’ll never go near DO again
