    I can’t thank you enough for your article. I had several sites hacked at once. This article helped me a lot. The code was in my database posts, the options table, in the header of index.php files that existed, created index.php and index.html files, and other .php files.

    I’m going through all of this and cleaning everything up and will follow your advice on reinstalling plugins.

    Do you have any advice or articles on what I can do to prevent my sites from getting hacked again? I’m not sure how they got in.

      Hi Chris,

      Use the Wordfence plugin and scan your website on a daily basis. Also, disable file edit from wp_config.php and make sure your database prefix is not wp, keep it unique.

      Other than this keep your theme plugins and WordPress updated. Don’t use any outdated plugin and themes.

      Thank you for asking.
