Hi there I am new to this forum.

Our php website was recently hacked into and the hacker made a mess of the website. We had hour host restore the website but now the host is threatening to shut our website down because someone is using a folder to send spam from.

Can anyhone suggest what to do. I know the basics of php but a suggestion of what we could do would be help.

Cheers
Mal

Run antivirus scans on your server,
Secure your contact form scripts against injection, add spam checks,
Make sure you do not have any exploitable scripts,
Change the locations of your scripts in the server.

I had once a mass spam problem on a server but it was a contact form injection so I added spam check and was solved,
