My WordPress website was hacked [closed]

It’s good that you’ve regained access to your website, but without any further action, you’ll get hacked again. These are steps to take, in order to clean, and secure your site:

  1. do not panic ( very important )

  2. do not remove anything yourself

  3. install and activate WordFence Security plugin

  4. in Wordfence -> Options, select everything to scan

  5. run Wordfence -> Scan, and follow instructions provided

  6. repeat step 5, until the scan shows no problems

  7. setup firewall in Wordfence

  8. make a full backup of your site, and remember to do it frequently

If the above procedure does not work at any stage, hire a professional!

Note: it is possible, that the plugin, you’ve attempted to install, caused this infection. Be very careful installing plugins from unknown sources. Try first, to search for plugins, in the official WordPress repository.
