Show answer

Answer

  • D Back up server and logs, analyze the point of entry, clean up or restore from a backup made before the attack, close the vulnerability, then go back online

Explanation

Without analysis the vulnerability remains open and the attack repeats. You therefore first secure data and logs (Apache, SSH, FTP, MySQL, system), find the point of entry and restore cleanly. A backup must date from before the attack. Afterwards the site remains under special observation.
