Help my platform

Dear Forum, I was building the most amazing platform to help people and organizations but got scammed by a developer and I do not know where my code is at at the moment. Is there a way to actually check this?

@tamtamtools

is this platform still can be accessed ?

is this developer the first person build this platform ?

this scammed thing like the developer have all the code ? and the repo ? and the host/domain as system admin ?

if this true this will be very challenging situation and sometimes can't be recover.

how can I check what needs to be done still

no body know where to check first, unless they know the flow of this platform.

so if you know all the flow/transaction of this platform you check all from A-Z to make sure there is no bug or backdoor code here

if this platform host in 3rd party, you can contact them to temporary disabled this platform.

Tell us what happened exactly. What do you mean by platform here? Is it a website? Is it live? Who wrote the code?
