sudouser6809yPaid themes and plugins or nulled?
Wordpress shouldn't get hack so often unless there's nulled themes or plugins.
Try Securi sitescan, Theme Authenticity Checker, or iThemes Security -
sh7na1369yWe have paid themes and mostly paid plugins. Have installede the iThemes security plugin and changed my admin login page etc. etc. We dont get as often as before but I dont trust nothing anymore, I take backup every week... 😆

philcr30549yWe started getting random pages for pharmaceuticals appearing in Google results. Someone/thing was putting pages in the upload directory. I hate Wordpress

sudouser6809y@philcr we've been working with Wordpress for over 6 years. In most, "all" cases it's because a plugin or theme was used that was downloaded from a place other than the source.
*Cough* torrent *Cough*
No easy fix but fixable.
Seen this in Drupal and static HTML, same issue.
A hacked site is usually defaced and you know something is up. If it's a malicious code, most of the time it's because the user/developer did something they weren't suppose to. -
philcr30549y@sudouser I suspect it was a plugin, the site was actually developed by a third party company and was constantly getting these random pages. So we locked it down and removed all but essential plugins. Never had any problems since

Often. We have a sales guy that only builds WordPress sites on his own server, and they break. He asks me to look into it, and when I open any of the files my Antivirus gets pissed.
We had somebody hack one of our godaddy servers and we lost it. Godaddy would not give it back because we couldn't verify our identity... The hackers email... -
Never had a problem on one of the sites that we build or maintain. Own hosting, ownthemes, selective in plugins (not a fucking trail of tears), daily backups and weekly updates with infintewp.

elrezzo398yWe keep getting hit and it seriously makes me wonder why we bother with it anymore.
At this point I'd rather switch to some static builder like Jekyll than ever deal with WordPress again.
Getting wordpress website hacked every once in a while, only me or entire world?
