HELP PLEASE! malware ruining my life

  • So, after updating to the newest version of wordpress all of my sites have been listed on google’s malware list.

    I’ve tried everything to get the offending javascript to disappear, including hiring an IT specialist. Unfortunately it looks like I’m going to have to wipe all of my servers and start from scratch.

    I’m hoping there is a way to back up all my posts so I can reinstall them into my new sites without having to do it one be one. Anyone know how to do this?

    Also, anyone know how to virus/malware protect a server? this is also beyond my capabilities. I can NEVER allow this to happen again as it is costing me more than to just outsource a custom website and not deal with what used to be my favorite CMS….

  • I removed the entire line of code…
    From the <? to the ?>
    And it fixed it.

    And the rest of the hack? And the hack back door(s)?

    It’s also possible that your hack is more involved than mine, even though we get the same warnings.

    To prevent it from happening again, I’d recommend changing your passwords for FTP and your control panel.

    I’ve not been hacked. But I have seen many, many, people get re-hacked again & again because they didn’t clean out the backdoors – thus allowing the hacker to walk straight back in again.

    The WordPress hacker situation is getting crazy out of hand.
    The bad guys are everywhere.
    Most of them are from outside the USA.

    Removing the malware off your site is only half the battle.

    Its not enough to do some WordPress updates and change your hosting passwords. The hackers can still get you.

    There are so many vulnerabilities that its is almost impossible to keep on top of it.

    You need to find a way to clean and then secure your site so the hackers will go somewhere else.
