In reply to: [BulletProof Security] bulletproof-security.0.47.5 not workingOr just save a lot of hardship for a lot of folks and just say sayonara to that “misinterpreted valid code” and move on…
🙂Not using NGINX for this conversation.
We use a number of different scanning tools, and not just one scanning system. Alarms all over the place is all I’m saying…Compare the .htaccess format generated by BPS “today”
with the one that was generated “last week”Whatever you changed in past week is what we’ll want to focus on.
Once we know what changed we can track down why the new entries are being marked as malicious.
It’s quite a mess. Hundreds of installations of BPS all sounding alarms they’ve been hacked. 🙁

In reply to: I am hackedIt’s very unlikely hacker only changed a few pages. Virtually every site I work has at least one hidden back door script (used to return to site in future). So recommend you make sure to check every file in every directory of your website just in case.
I’ve seen similar issues with my other clients sites. Sadly this is more of a hosting company issue and less a scripting issue.
Bottom line here is that your host is allocating your accounts too little memory. Only real solution is moving to another host or upgrading your account at host to allow for more memory.

In reply to: Theme HackedWordPress as it goes is quite secure.
Most folks I end up assisting with their hacked sites are resultant from:
1. stolen FTP or Dashboard password.
2. Outdated WordPress, plugins or themes.
3. Compromised web host (very uncommon but I’ve seen a couple this year).That said, locating a web host who does daily malware scanning is a good start (that is, if you are interested in getting hacked less often).

May occur due to incompatibility with a plugin or some junk in your .htaccess file conflicting.
Try FTP or File Manager to your website, then move the better-wp-security directory out of your plugins folder.

In reply to: Blogger import to WordPress hacked.Sounds like your best course of action is to call your web host and have them recover your website from backup. Are they able to do that for you?

In reply to: database hacked and unable to access adminYour best first step is to get your host to recover the site from an older backup. That way you can work to secure the site to prevent further abuse.
