    Carefully follow this guide. When you’re done, you may want to implement some (if not all) of the recommended security measures and start backing up your site.

    @macmanx I scanned my website but nothing found. So i set password protect to wp-admin and changing password of my username and changed the permission of wp-config.php to 444 !

    Is this enough ?

    Make sure you do everything else in the first linked to guide, scans don’t catch everything.

    @negarehgfx Do you mind sharing your domain name? And have you seen any new users showing up when viewing wp_users table directly in a MySQL client? It’s not uncommon for hackers to change the default role so that they can set it to administrator and create themselves a user with administrator privileges to access your wp-admin.

    @g0tr00t No I haven’t seen new user in database ! I applied some security changes as i said before and the problem didn’t happened again since now ! I hope this condition continues
