Hi mr raj mathur,
Im just very new to linux, so please dont mind about my question. But
reinstall of linux in case of hack dont look very good solution. Even in
case of windows we first try to recover system not to reinstall. Then how
can be justified to reinstall linux system in case of hack like that?

You have already had a lot of good advice here, I'll add a few more things :

- backup you data, and only your data

- backup anything else you might want from the machine, but in a different
place to your data

- Call and speak to the hosting company - make sure they understand its
 security issue, and treat it with a high priority; Make sure they know what
your level of linux competence is and how you can help them.

- Insist on a new VM being installed for you. Dont try and clean this one
up, just get your data and make sure its destoyed

- Take steps to make sure this does not happen again :)

All the best.
