    The plugin is excellent and flexible, often has a new version, even offers a “free” services to send emails.

    The point I’m (unsuccessfully) trying to make is that if you were compromised by that Mailpoet plugin exploit and did not delouse your installation then it doesn’t matter what you do after that.

    The current version of that plugin has been looked at by some very good people and has no issues that are known. BUT if the hack got in and then you updated then your stuck.

    You’ve got to tear your installation down, get all the backdoors that have been installed, changes your passwords, then rebuild from verified sources.

    It’s a lot of work but there is just no way around it.

    Not unsuccessfully Jan, what you’re saying is probably the correct conclusion, I’m just trying to determine whodunnit and be sure, before making arrests ??

    Looking at

    would you think that the issue we’re having IS caused by MailPoet?

    For now, I have deleted MailPoet and restored a backup from July 5. So far, the site is OK but I’m thinking backdoors MAY have been installed / database may have been affected before that date. Just to be sure and looking at WHEN the MailPoet exploit started happening… if you had backups from June, May and April etc. – which one would you use to restore?

    Yes people, but this is ridiculous.
    Live in fear of what if.
    I have a website which is updated daily. What can I say to people, wait to find error and maybe we will not …

    Ordinary plugin can create so many problems to system?
    A back door make always the same issue. The same attack. How can it not be found in the system.

    What if it does not cause mailpoet.
