WordPress Site Hacked?
-
I’ve had a few sites hacked in the past (mostly through insecure hosts) and now employ usual safeguards wp-security, limit logins etc..
However – this one is new to me so welcome any guidance
At the bottom of the site is showing sex, porn content etc.
Looking at the site I can’t see any of this or indeed where it’s coming from – a look at the database posts table doesn’t show anything either.
Maybe it’s coming via a dodgy plugin – the ones I’m using are:
