    Anyone know any info about this? I have 100~s of effected sites..

    *Looks at first link*

    I suspect that it maybe related to the fact that you were running 4.1.3 and not the patched version 4.1.4 which was recently released. It was specifically a security release.

    *Looks at second link*

    That one was even older and was running version 4.0 or WordPress. It appears that you have not been maintaining your WordPress sites and that may have led to your sites being compromised.

    To delouse your sites you need to start working your way through these resources:

    Make sure you follow these steps.

    1) Scan your computer for malwares – Download Malwarebytes and make sure you have an antivirus installed – Clean all virus and malwares.
    2) Change password on your hosting provider or control panel
    3) Change password on your WordPress “admin”
    4) Install a security plugin on your site such as Wordfence, ithemes security, sucuri
    5) Monitor Ips that constantly access your sensitive pages on your site
    6) Delete suspicious browser addons
    7) Change the password of your email

    *Make sure that the password the you create should have alphnumeric character with the combination of All caps, and the length should be 15 characters and more.

    Let me know if you have done all this. Thanks

    I have investigated and found 2 different types of attack..

    Attack 1: They somehow injected and changed my database.

    Under wp_options table, they edited the “siteurl” option and put html codes there instead of sitename.com so site showed their codes instead of correct full site. Once you revert their code with your site`s full url, your site becomes available again. After doing this, i went into wp-admin and updated everything.

    Attack 2: No database changed as mentioned above. They somehow directly edited index.php and put their own source codes. Even after ou revert index.php back to original one, their hack message was appearing. I have downloaded a fresh wp zip and overwrote all files, then site got fixed but when I woke up today, I noticed that they again changed the index.php file.

    They dont have access to my root server or ftp, checked login details. They somehow do it with injection or another method i dont know.

    First method looks harmless but 2nd issue, even after i uploaded everything fresh and updated everything to last versions, how can they edit my site(s)?

    Let me know if you have followed the all the steps that I have given above. Those are important.

    There are 3 things that I can think of why your site is being hacked: your computer has malware and viruses(keyloggers), theme and plugin vulnerabilities(your are using non-reputable or vulnerable ones), maybe you hired a developer before that knows the login credentials of your site or ftp.
