Hi –

Wordfence continues to find soaksoak.ru within BackupBuddy zip backup files hosted on my shared server. When I delete the backup zip file, the soaksoak no longer appears in a Wordfence scan.

How do I find the soaksoak in the database so that it does not appear in the backup? I’m stumped.

Hello,

First, make sure WordPress and all plugins and themes are updated. Disable any plugins that aren’t in use. Then run another scan and check the results.

Already did that. The Wordfence scan does not find the soaksoak.ru on the database. It only finds it inside the BackupBuddy backed-up database. So strange that it finds it only after it’s been scooped up by the backup.

Is the string actually ‘soaksoak’? There are a few methods of searching the database for strings of text. This link (answer number 5) shows how to do it with phpmyadmin.

This gu wrote a script to do it (use at own risk)

It would be interesting to see where it was. Let us know.
