And Malcure didn&#8217;t find them (and still doesn&#8217;t).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have been checking and clearing them manually. Not fun, but effective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I also changed the password, updated plugins, and deleted non active and older plugins that were not updated. I don&#8217;t know how they got access, but nothing new has come through in the past few weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So &#8212; great plugin for warning and finding a bunch of malware. But it missed A LOT (hundreds of infections). Room for improvement but a decent tool when used with other strategies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-18536928","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/18536928","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/18536928\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18536930,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/18536928\/revisions\/18536930"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18536928"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
