Your Site Has Been Hacked – Ist Deine Seite gehackt worden?

Aktuell bekomme ich immer wieder Anfragen von Kunden oder besorgten Website-Besitzern, die eine dubiose E-Mail mit dem Betreff „Your Site Has Been Hacked“ erhalten haben. Sie enthält einen Link zur betreffenden Website und ist in Englisch verfasst. Meist lautet der Inhalt ungefähr so:

PLEASE FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO SOMEONE IN YOUR COMPANY WHO IS ALLOWED TO MAKE IMPORTANT DECISIONS!
We have hacked your website http://irgendeineseite.de and extracted your databases.
How did this happen?
Our team has found a vulnerability within your site that we were able to exploit. After finding the vulnerability we were able to get your database credentials and extract your entire database and move the information to an offshore server.
What does this mean?
We will systematically go through a series of steps of totally damaging your reputation. First your database will be leaked or sold to the highest bidder which they will use with whatever their intentions are. Next if there are e-mails found they will be e-mailed that their information has been sold or leaked and your site http://www.carport-koblenz.de was at fault thusly damaging your reputation and having angry customers/associates with whatever angry customers/associates do. Lastly any links that you have indexed in the search engines will be de-indexed based off of blackhat techniques that we used in the past to de-index our targets.
How do I stop this?
We are willing to refrain from destroying your site’s reputation for a small fee. The current fee is $2000 USD in bitcoins (BTC).
Send the bitcoin to the following Bitcoin address (Copy and paste as it is case sensitive):
HierschreibeichmalnichtdenBTCadressedesÜbeltätershin
Once you have paid we will automatically get informed that it was your payment. Please note that you have to make payment within 5 days after receiving this notice or the database leak, e-mails dispatched, and de-index of your site WILL start!
How do I get Bitcoins?
You can easily buy bitcoins via several websites or even offline from a Bitcoin-ATM. We suggest you https://cex.io/ for buying bitcoins.
What if I don’t pay?
If you decide not to pay, we will start the attack at the indicated date and uphold it until you do, there’s no counter measure to this, you will only end up wasting more money trying to find a solution. We will completely destroy your reputation amongst google and your customers.
This is not a hoax, do not reply to this email, don’t try to reason or negotiate, we will not read any replies. Once you have paid we will stop what we were doing and you will never hear from us again!
Please note that Bitcoin is anonymous and no one will find out that you have complied.

Was tun? Haus und Hof verkaufen und Bitcoins schicken?

NEIN! Bitte nicht! Es handelt sich um eine Erpressungsmail mit betrügerischen Absichten. Hier wird versucht, mittels Angst Geld zu erpressen. Die Erpresser haben mit sehr hoher Sicherheit KEINEN Zugriff auf Deine Website-Datenbank und kennen auch nicht Dein Passwort (es sei denn, es ist ein sehr schlechtes Passwort ;-))

Kann ich solche Erpressungs-E-Mails verhindern?

Nein, leider kann man nicht verhindern, dass es immer wieder kriminelle Subjekte gibt, die die Angst vor Datenverlust nutzen möchten um an leicht verdientes Geld zu kommen. Das einzige, was Du tun kannst, ist aufmerksam bleiben, nicht in Panik verfallen, tieeeef durchatmen!

Kann ich meine Seite sicherer machen?

Na klar! Sicherer geht immer! Die drei WICHTIGSTEN Faktoren für Deine (WordPress) Website-Sicherheit sind: Gutes Hosting, starke Passwörter und regelmäßige Updates. Wenn Du dabei Hilfe brauchst, kannst Du Dich unter https://wpnanny.de gerne über meine Leistungen im Bereich Website-Wartung und Sicherheit informieren. Und jetzt Schluss mit Werbung!
