[Year 12 IT Apps] Help with Wordpress

[Groves, Brett G]

Hi Sylvia,

In all honesty the safest way (having been thru this a few times) is just to drop the site and rebuild it. There are just so many places within Wordpress to hide a malicious script you'll never be sure again about the payload you might be passing on to users of the site.

I'm well aware this is after the horse is bolted but I usually keep one key back up from  immediately after the site is finished and then I install a plugin that does automatic back up to Dropbox daily so you can just dial back to the last known good copy.

I'd be really wary of just "fixing the problem" . Anyhow just my 2 drachmas.

Kind Regards, 

Brett Groves

Wondering if any of you iT gurus can help. My hubby website made in Wordpress has been hacked and as a result crazy domains has suspended his account. Apparently someone has hacked into his contact page and there is malware in it. Anyone know how To remove it. Maybe something for the holidays. He is happy to pay. 
Thanks. 
Sylvia.
