Issues with Emails After Possible Domain Hack

Hello everyone, This situation may sound more like a back-end than a front-end, that's why I prefer to ask it here, even though my page has nothing back-end, it's just a presentation page.

He owns his own hosting service. I uploaded the website on September 16, replacing the old version....

ASP.NET SQL Connection Security; what should never go in a public github repository?

Lost my job last week and I'm working on an ASP.NET/Angular project to demonstrate what I know in .NET/C#. I'm wanting it to be public enough for potential employers to at least see that I'm comfortable working in this kind of tech, but my settings include my password for the local db, and I'm really really not a security person so I'm concerned there's something obvious that shouldn't be public. Unless I'm being overly paranoid. The server is only locally hosted right now, but if I get to the...
