So, to potentially avoid this scenario:

• Be vigilant about keeping software updated
• Understand the security practices of all applications, plugins, third-party software, etc., before you install them on your server. A security vulnerability in one software application can affect the safety of your entire site
• Remove unnecessary or unused software
• Enforce creation of strong passwords
• Keep all devices used to log in to your servers secure updated operating system and browser
• Make regular, automated backups of your site
