My Site Was Hacked

My site was hacked, and my sytist folder was deleted.  My host is currently restoring.  I have hired someone to remove the malware and backdoors they have found installed.  He is asking for a clean download of Sytist so he can compare what is installed.

Where can I download a clean copy of Sytist?

Additionally I would like to start having Sytist host my sytist site.  Currently my site is Wordpress, and I have sytist in a sub folder.  Can you help with this migration?

Wordfence completed a scan and is now only showing one potential problem:

  • Filename: /home3/solariss/public_html/galleries/sytist-update/backup/solaris-galleries-admin/field.edit.php
  • File Type: Not a core, theme, or plugin file from wordpress.org.
  • Details: This file appears to be installed or modified by a hacker to perform malicious activity. If you know about this file you can choose to ignore it to exclude it from future scans. The matched text in this file is: session_start();x0dx0aerror_reporting(0);x0dx0aheader("Cache-control: private"); x0dx0aob_start(); x0dx0arequire $setup['path']."/".$setup['inc_folder']."/functions.php"; x0dx0arequire $setup['path']."/".$setup['inc_fold...

    The issue type is: Suspicious:PHP/sess.err.14925
    Description: Suspicious combination of function calls and other actions usually observed in malware

Thank you.

You can download the Sytist files by viewing the original order you purchased Sytist on in the my account section

That file detected is in the backup folder created when applying upgrades. It is safe to delete that entire sytist-update folder. 

I don't offer standard hosting. I have Sytist Hosted, but you can't move photos, galleries, pages, categories or sections from a self-hosting installation to Sytist Hosted. Some data like pricing, accounts, orders and settings can be transferred for a fee. If you need additional information please email me.
