alquia Posted July 30, 2019 Author Posted July 30, 2019 Hello, I´m sorry. How I can prevent this kind of hacking?
wolstech Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 WordPress got compromised...WP is notorious for this sort of problem. It's well known for being poorly coded, insecure, buggy, and also very heavy on resources. It's the leading cause of hacked accounts here at HelioHost. WP itself is notorious for security holes, and many of the free plugins and themes available for it are actually disguised backdoors. When you unknowingly install such a backdoor, it notifies the hacker, who then uses it to compromise your account, typically so they can send spam or set up a phishing site. The best way to deal with Wordpress's security issues...is to not use Wordpress. Just about any other CMS available is more secure than WP. We usually recommend Joomla. It's probably the second most common CMS in use today and has almost as much content available for it.
