    I received this from my webhost, however I have no idea what it means or what I can do about it?

    postlet is not a wordpress plugin, per se as it works on many platforms
    you should delete the entire postlet folder and associated files and remove any codes from worpress

    what did the attack accomplish?
    you may need to do other stuff as well
