Description of my issue:

Had a hacking attempt last night. User got in, I shut the site down and removed the user that was affected user. After I deemed the site safe. I ran the file scanner. As it was running I left it be and did other tasks. The File Scanner ended up running for 8 hours and DoS'd the server. I restarted the server and all was well.

Is this an error with the file scanner?

What recommended action should I take. Is this an error with my app config, server config or is it potentially from the attack?

Thank you all!

Hi Nicholas,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I can backup the entire site within 2 minutes using akeeba backup.

This also pushes my CPU to 95% of max where a backup didn't get to 40% (both of these include all other processes).

Admin Tools works great other than this and gave me a head start on the attack.
