 * Hello everyone,
 * I’m a first time poster reporting the hacking of a website that I have maintained
   for work for 2-3 years now: [http://www.nzmebc.org.nz/](http://www.nzmebc.org.nz/)
 * A fortnight ago I logged into the website to find that a large number of pages
   throughout had been modified, with random words like Clemidia or Viagra inserted
   throughout with embedded hyperlinks.
 * I changed all the admin passwords and combed through the website removing all
   the changes. One thing I wasn’t able to fix was the calendar widget that displayed
   the month’s events on the sidebar disappearing across the website.
 * The hacking reoccurred this morning and I have another wave of random words inserted.
   Looking at the changes history I see that whoever did this used my account.
 * Can anyone please help me stop this from reoccurring and potentially advise me
   on how I can return the events calendar displaying on my right sidebar?
 * Thank you very much
 * Nick

 * Remain calm and carefully follow [this guide](https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked).
   When you’re done, you may want to implement some (if not all) of [the recommended security measures](https://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress).
 * If you’re unable to clean your site(s) successfully, there are reputable organizations
   that can clean your sites for you. Sucuri, SiteLock and Wordfence are a few.
