OJT RDE Narrative Report: Week 13
In Week 13, starts with a sudden hijack to our domain. The domain suddenly became a gambling site and all of our hard work was replaced. But thankfully all the hijackers did is to redirect the domain instead of completely replacing all of our hard work with a gambling site. We asked the main IT department of our school ICTO to help us out recover the website. After it was recovered, we were advised to use Word Fence, a security plugin to prevent such attacks from happening again. During that we also encrypted the admin login page link so it could be easily found as well as changed all of our passwords into a really strong one. Funnily enough after some time the system was hijacked again. We asked ICTO again recover the website and then watch videos on how to use the Word Fence plugin. We used the firewall to prevent brute force attacks and scanned the system and found that there was a malicious file injected to our system, so we removed it. After exploring the plugin, it was smooth sailing to we will have to thank ICTO in recovering and protecting the site. Also, during this time, we started to prepare in the upcoming workshop, where we created visual materials and tarpaulin as well as the program flow of the workshop.
