WordPress hacked – How to Remove new URLs I didn’t create

  • Hi
    Our site go hacked. I have used WordFence to clean and identify suspicious files and it appears to have fixed the problem. However when I check the Links found on the site using Sucuri Security I see there are still a number of links identified that I did not create. If I click on these links it says page not found on my site.

    Here are some of them as an example

    /garcinia-cambogia-for-weight-loss-dr-oz/
    /garcinia-cambogia-diet-works/
    /garcinia-cambogia-colon-cleanse/
    /diabetic-weight-loss-pills/
    /side-effects-of-phentermine/
    /detox-drug/
    /weight-loss-pill-garcinia/

    How do I find and remove these links?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hi @justcam,

    I am not sure, but I think your website still has an old sitemap.xml file which have these pages still inside them. If so, refresh the sitemap.xml and test again.

    Please remain calm and carefully follow this guide.
    When you’re done, you may want to implement some (if not all) of the recommended security measures.

    Hi Guys
    Thanks for helping out. I have resubmitted my sitemap to google but I still see quite a bit of content it I visit Site:sweetvalleyprimary.co.za.

    I am working through the FAQ … calmly ??

    Can I assume if site:sweetvalleyprimary.co.za is still showing spam that there are still malicous redicrects operating on the site?

    I am getting clean scans from Wordfence

    What is more important is to identify how an attacker was able to upload malicious files/code into your wordpress file repository. This is how to prevent it happening again.
