Databases automatically deleted

Hi, I have a linux server with wordpress and some sites (centos with vestacp, everything updated). Since a few days, my websites are going down automatically and then I see that the databases are removed. I don't know why, I checked security and it looks fine but I don't know where to search. How can I see why the MariaDB databases are removed automatically? Thanks, Ph.

If a server has been compromised, patching the hole that let the attackers in is not enough. Search for resources online on what to do once the server is compromised. You can also look at the Audit Plugin to see what is going on on the MariaDB side,
