 * Does anyone know of a good forum for WordPress sites that have been hacked? My
   site was hacked and I have regained control of it again but I still have questions
   about some of the files on my site that look suspicious and may need to be deleted.
 * Also I’m getting over a hundred Level Severe warnings from Exploit Scanner which
   I’m not sure what to do with?
 * thanks.

 * You’re in the right place.
 * Some documentation that may help: Here’s where you will need to start for information
   on how to completely clean things up: [FAQ My site was hacked](https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked)..
   And some info for after things are cleaned up that might help. [Hardening WordPress](http://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress)
 * The default file structure for a clean install can be viewed here if you need
   a specific comparison: [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/4.3/src](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/4.3/src)
