Check how you are hacked? After that, you can search for a solution.
I Cant
they delete SSH for example
and delete all the databases and sites
and delete directadmin

but one thing is for sure - its not that they know my password
and none manage to enter ROOT (beacuse i have a monitor that tells me if someone is on root)

Yeah
i did it to
and changed it to protocol 2
 
Upgrade to the latest version of openssl. It has a exploit which allows people to get root access easily.

Run a rootkit like chkrootkit.

i got the last version

a hardware firewall for one

2nd no ssh access unless you are within the internal network ( ie you need to vpn etc)

prob is if you are hosting and offering ssh to people off the web then you can't do the above .


other than that mostly is monitoring via your facility , and so on.

Oh one more thing I would check.. it would be your own computer.

Maybe you are not getting hacked but you might have a nice big back door in your own computer.
