Recovery procedures

Incident response and website recovery

During infection, failure or suspected compromise, the priorities are limiting damage, preserving diagnostic information and restoring a safe state.

First steps

Record the domain, issue time, error messages, recent changes and symptoms. Do not immediately delete files that may explain the infection source.

Recovery

Safe restore may require backup, application updates, password changes, file scanning and e-mail/DNS verification.

After the incident

After restoring operation, identify the cause, update components, review user accounts and enable additional safeguards.
