If you can image it for safekeeping and forensics, even better. That appears to be output from wget but the intrusion, if any, could be through any number of vectors (web, ssh, local attack, etc.) not directly related to PostgreSQL. Check in your other logs starting with a search for anything related to that IP address. Verify the usual. Patches up to date, ports appropriately firewalled off, no default passwords, etc. IP comes back to vultr.com which is a cloud company (i.e. could be anyone) but if it is an attack perhaps contact their abuse department. Unless you are positive the server was not attacked, don't trust it unless you can be absolutely certain it is clean. Best bet is to backup any critical data (and check it for trustworthiness), wipe and rebuild. Only you (well, OK, maybe them, now) know what data was on this server but depending on its importance, internal policies, legal requirements and agreements with third-parties you may have notification requirements and could need to engage forensics experts. Good luck, Steve
