irc bot hack in com_index

irc bot hack in com_index was created by 8track
I really hope someone can help. I've been running a twinpeaks fan site for many year. It's been on community builder for several years now, so many users.

Somebody hacked our server and uploaded an IRC bot into

/administrator/components/com_index

Is com_index part of community server?

I've moved it, but my page still comes up blank at interstate95.com/twinpeaks

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I've also moved the index.html file to a backup. It appears to have been hacked to. I replaced it with an index.html from another joomla installation.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry to hear that. That directory has nothing to do with Community Builder.

For advice helping restore and increasing security, please see here:

help.joomla.org/component/option,com_easyfaq/task,cat/catid,226/Itemid,268/

Particularly the "Recover" section, and vulnerable extensions list.

Wishing you good luck getting back online. Nothing fun to handle, but often lots to learn too in the process...
