Hello Sergi, If they are getting into your account, then the permissions to the htaccess will not matter. They are likely gaining access to either your FTP or cPanel account from a compromised password from your connecting machines. This is the case in the vast majority of hacked accounts. Below is our article on what to do after a hack. This will help harden your connecting devices against attackers. Steps to take after a hack Best Regards, Scott M
