    Default Worpress Site Hacked

    Im in desperate help, my site has been hacked and have been searching for solutions but cant seem to find anything online that will help me. My site has been hacked and have been injected with spammy urls e.g...

    e.g.mysite/gis-order-cilostazol-no-prescription-in-netherlands
    e.g.mysite/gis-purchase-prochlorperazine-online-in-new-zealand
    e.g.mysite/gis-cheap-zyban-sr-online
    e.g.mysite/gis-order-rosiden-generic
    e.g.mysite/gis-order-belifax-generic
    e.g.mysite/gis-cheap-termisil-generic
    e.g.mysite/gis-cheap-artrotec-generic
    e.g.mysite/gis-order-stadaquel-online
    e.g.mysite/gis-buy-zep-online
    e.g.mysite/gis-buy-camezol-generic

    All my plugins and themes (flytonic) are updated and i run the paid version of wordfence, but still the hackers get by with out detection.

    If anybody can help it would really be appreciated.

    Have they actually created posts with content? or are those posts getting 404 errors?
    If they've hacked your site and all your plugins/themes are up to date I'd email your host ASAP.

    There are no content pages, just redirects. I tried contacting my host several times with no response. Its frustrating.

    Check your .htaccess file, sound like some code has been injected. You may need to restore it to the default one and make it read only.

    Hi

    Seems like restoring your last backup should be only choice.

    One of my websites is under brute attack too. I tried to use Sucuri Security plugin, but attacks are still enormous. Don´t you know some easy plugin to get rid of these annoying attacks? They did not break my password, but it can come

    Thx

    I'd personally delete the entire hosting account (or at least all the files on the server) and create a new one before uploading the backup. Then I'd increase the number of security plugins for the site. It also helps to use cloudflare.

    Agreed with some of the others, restore a backup at the least.

    Use one of the recommended plugins that moves the admin logon and some of them help harden other areas....we have a few threads here discussing the security plugins.

    Be sure to use strong passwords as well.

    I have nothing to add to the above posts in terms of the hacking, but I urge you to get top quality hosting, this should be a lesson. I pay extra for my hosting, there are tons of cheaper options available, but I can rely on them and they helped me with at least 3-4 hacking episodes. Live chat can also be very important for your hosting company. Hope it works out well for you, I really symphatize.

    This seems to go along with this thread so I will post here. I have a website that has the Flytonic theme with child. I recently went through a hack and had a hell of a time taking care of it. Ongoing problem for quite some time, however, my host was more than helpful. Rostick is right about paying for decent hosting. Anyway, I changed all passwords, DB, Cpanel, Wordpress, etc.. and made sure I got the site working again, however, now I have a problem. None of the redirect links work. They are all 404. All the data is still there and if I resave the page, I still get the error. I have tried unistalling then reinstalling the theme and still no love. Anyone have any ideas? Theme looks fine.. The redirect links just do not work..

    If you're not adding to what the original poster of this thread is saying you should start your own thread, that way you'll receive more relevant responses to your post.

    With regard to your problem have you tried just re-saving your permalink settings?

    Funny you say that. On a whim I resaved permalinks and low and behold, it worked. I came back in here to see your post. Thanks for your help.
