rm -rf /
reboot from usb drive
reinstall modern ShortCycle OSes like Fedora

Why?

Because your server got hacked with root access and you have no idea
what the attacker did, what you did not find.
Attackers can change your logfiles to remove or correct theire
activities as they like, install Hypervisor Rootkits etc. etc.

Trust a it forensics guys, you can only be sure if you cold start the
server and boot from a trustworthy medium
to forensic a system.
