Worried Adsense: Many Mini Niche Sites Hacked And Earnings Increasing Dramatically

I was hacked through my Filezilla ftp connection on Tuesday and my Adsense niche sites were attached. They are receiving a spike in traffic through email opens all over the world, mainly from europe.

All of the pages and directories were removed (deleted) but the hack is causing a ton of page views to these pages that no longer exist. It is brining about 1500 page views a site (50 sites) and although the landing pages (since they no longer exist) from the hack are no longer there the same click through ratio I normally experiencing from normal traffic is still being achieved. This is causing roughly 175 ad sense impression per site a day.

first of all. I pissed because my sites have been hacked and after spending nine hours yesterday researching what to do it is all extremely tedious and complected requiring entering in command codes to try to figure out what happened and some stuff that is still beyond me. In the end I have to backup, then delete all of these sites, and reinstall them. That is going to take many long days.

secondly. I am kinda fearful of getting banned form adsense even though I was the victim here. I mean what happens if all of these clicks that are coming from sources of emails opens and with a high bounce rate and modestly good click through.

I am waiting to hear from my hosting company (support ticket, major hosting company) many of their clients sites got hacked as well in what appears to be all from Filezilla A response said that it is being sent to a specialist familiar with this problem and due to the nature could take longer than 24 hours which is their normal response rate since they have to figure out and resolve this too. I also understand I am responsible for my sites security and to be honest there is a lot I need to do. But while that is happening I am receiving the amount of traffic I am aiming for from these sites about 3 months too soon and again it is all form a hack.

what should I do? The hosting company is working on it and I have changed all passwords in the C panel and ftp access. Now I need to begin one at a time backing up and deleting these sites and then putting them back to together again. I have no way to stop the traffic without taking them off line but not sure I want to do that if they are bringing in so much revenue daily with my normal click through ratio just a dramatic increase in traffic.

I expect the traffic will decrease sooner then later and while waiting to hear back form the hosting company I have been researching and preparing to fix these sites one by one so that I am safe and secure going forward although I do not believe any of the malware is still attached to the sites.

Mir, peace, shalom,
