My site was down, due to hacking, while I was hospitalized and recovering. When I recovered it from a backup it was hacked withing 48 hours. I had wordfence running but it didn’t make any difference. I recovered the site a second time and it was hacked by the next morning. * I installed free WP Cerber and found over 50 FAILED attempts to hack the next day. I immediately purchased WP Cerber professional. I have had to delete over 10,000 traffic entries from Traffic Inspector in the first month of using Cerber. In the 7 days since then I have over 300 failed hack attempts. I have just over 100 blacklisted URLs that professional WP Cedrber has protected me from. * I am exporting traffic archival entries to excel files about once a month to keep the data storage more reasonable. * Kudos on the BEST site protection I have ever had. ——————————————————————————— NOTE: I do not allow anyone to register on my site. It is informational and, basically, opinion. Would allowing registration, upon review, increase the chance of being hacked? * The only problem I am still having is with repeated requests to log in. I had thought it was due to my VPN but it happens even without using the VPN and, almost immediately after clicking on “Site Health Screen” on the WordPress Dashboard. * I do not remember having this problem prior to installing WP Cerber but I don’t know where the site health is coming from as I deleted the plugin “Site Health and Troubleshooting” and can’t really find direct “causality” only anecdotal “ correlation. * Thank you again, Terry * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Cerber Security, Anti-spam & Malware Scan] Site Integrity Scan 96 Critical Errors overnight](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-integrity-scan-96-critical-errors-overnight/) * Thread Starter [ragingeagle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ragingeagle/) * (@ragingeagle) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-integrity-scan-96-critical-errors-overnight/#post-12867583) * Gioni * Apologies, too many years writing crime reports, LoL. * The basic question was that on 5/14/2020, overnight, I received a scan report showing 96 critical errors. Most of the “errors” were linked to updraft plus. * I have no idea what caused them but suspected a glitched update attempt, the day before, of update plus plugin. * I only have 9 plugins, total, basically the minimum to safely exist and operate. * I always use the new plugin page to install/activate/delete plugins. * Scans occur automatically (no idea of periodicity). * Wordfence just completed the first scan, since the one in question, about 90 minutes ago, and it **is now reporting “No new issues have been found”**, There is one previously ignored issue. * I have no idea what caused the 96 errors or why they disappeared between scans. * I did have the “Health Check and Troubleshooting” plugin installed but, every time I clicked on it in Dashboard, it demanded I log in so I deleted it. * In Telecommunications we used to call this kind of error FM, F…. Magic. I have no better explanation, LoL. * The problem appears to have fixed itself. Apologies for taking up your time and thank you for your help. * Terry * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Cerber Security, Anti-spam & Malware Scan] Cerber Quick Scan-Unattended file suspicious code](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cerber-quick-scan-unattended-file-suspicious-code/) * Thread Starter [ragingeagle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ragingeagle/) * (@ragingeagle) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cerber-quick-scan-unattended-file-suspicious-code/#post-12805196) * Thank you Gioni. I do still have Wordfence activated and do not have any old, undeleted plugins. Does Wordfence cause any conflicts with Cerber that would indicate I should remove Wordfence? If not I’ll just “ignore” that particular threat as it appears it’s part of Wordfence. * Should I also “ignore” the “suspicious directives” “Line 42: [http://%](http://%){ REMOTE_ADDR}/$” in the “/.htaccess” file (medium threat) also? * Thank you again for your assistance RE Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total)
