A lot of web developer tend to overlook on the importance of website security but it’s a major issue especially if you’re running a generic wordpress theme.

Plugins are one of the easiest target for hackers as well.

So I would strongly advice to stay away from plugins that you don’t need.

Cheers,

Every time a visitor logged on to the website it would redirect to an online watch website from russia (.ru)

I tried everything to fix it and eventually i ended up having to delete everything from the server and rebuild the website.

3 days later, it go hacked again. The site was built in WordPress. So i deleted everything……AGAIN. Then i built the website in a bit of software i still had on my laptop called Net Objects fusion.

The site has not been hacked in a few months since so i think most issues are probably wordpress related when it comes to hacking so there for a Plugin is going to be the answer. The question tho is which one?
