 * I lost access to my WP Admin area, getting only a blank screen. Loking at my 
   error log, I found this:
 * _[ Many log lines and spam links redacted ]_
 * I finally removed all plugins and gained access again.
    So much for using updraft
   plus, thanks but NO THANKS. 🙁

 * Hi Ivan,
 * Someone has hacked your WP site. When hackers break in, they will look to add
   code in many places. Often they will search for popular plugins which are likely
   to be installed, and add their code in there. The code above is not part of the
   original plugin – which you can verify by downloading a pristine copy and comparing.
 * You will also want to find out how the hackers actually got in – finding out 
   which plugins they modified after breaking in does not tell you this.
 * David
