In reply to: website hacked and unable to change password to log back inI managed to get back in by going to the wp-options table and removing the malicious script from the widget_text box which was the same as removing it manually from appearance>widgets in the backend but obviously couldn’t it now as i could’nt access the backend.
thanks for all the support

In reply to: website hacked and unable to change password to log back inThanks for that I will check when I’m back in work on Monday. We did disable ftp last week due to the server going down and thought it might be add a bit of security after last months breaches but I’d there is a backdoor I’m guessing that wouldn’t matter if ftp was enabled or not.
Thanks
Nicky

In reply to: website hacked and unable to change password to log back inyes it is strange as the hack the last time allowed me to change the password and just went ahead and cleared out what i could find and got it back up and running.
I’ve gone into wp_options removed the title that said it had been hacked and changed the charset back from uft-7 to uft8 so from a viewers perspective the site looks fine it’s just i can’t get in to update any of them and the hack removes all the other widgets from the footer so need to add them back.
The hack seems to add a bit of script to an innactive widget so i was hoping to remove that from within the wp_options table in phpmyadmin but what’s in the value boxes isn’t exactly what i thought it would be like the script so i could just remove it. I don’t want to delete the widget text if it does more harm to the site or whether doing that would even fix the issue anyway.

In reply to: website hacked and unable to change password to log back inthanks for the reply. We have a number of websites with the same issue of being hacked and none of them are accepting a new password. I tried creating a new admin on one of them but that didn’t seem to work either unfortunately
