We run a few small commercial websites on a shared server and have been having problems with being hacked. The first time the login details for Google Merchant centre were accessed and a new user added. The second time a new sitemap was added to Google merchant centre Both times new files have been installed into the root directory, including a note from the hackers informing me I have been hacked. I have installed security shield which noted these unrecognised core files: wp-includes/Requests/[login to view URL] | | Unrecognised File 56 seconds ago 9:38 pm 22nd May 2019 wp-includes/Requests/[login to view URL] | | Unrecognised File 56 seconds ago 9:38 pm 22nd May 2019 wp-includes/Requests/[login to view URL] | | Unrecognised File 56 seconds ago 9:38 pm 22nd May 2019 wp-includes/Requests/license | | Unrecognised File 56 seconds ago 9:38 pm 22nd May 2019 wp-includes/Requests/[login to view URL] | | Unrecognised File 56 seconds ago 9:38 pm 22nd May 2019 wp-includes/Requests/[login to view URL] | | I have removed these for the time being. I am looking for someone who can verify the security of the 4 sites and add any additional security as required. I would also like someone to investigate how the hacker gained access and if we can resolve this. Thanks

Hello, Hope you are doing well. I am a web developer and I have more than five years experience. I have experience with SSL installation. AWS server configuration. Domain Name transfer, hosting transfer. To secure your website need to find out the backdoor and after that need to remove or close it. Then we need to install some security plugins and also need to update all things to the latest version. Its will better if we install an SSL certificate. I can make your sites fully secure and your hosting will be bulletproof from the hacker. Thanks Atiqur Rahman

Hi, The part of the project mentioned at the and ("to investigate how the hacker gained access and if we can resolve this") is not optional - this is crucial to find the vulnerability/vulnerabilities and fix them or you will be hacked again. Also, I suppose that you didn't clean the infection completely - you didn't mention changes in WP core files (and/or plugins/themes core files). I'll efficiently clean your hosting account from malware, fix the vulnerabilities and harden overall WP security. This is my full-time job, so you may be 100% sure of the results. I assume that you have only 4 websites on this hosting account (all the websites needs to be cleaned) Let me know, Adam

Hello there, Malware is a common problem nowadays. I had the same problem with my own website a few months earlier, So I made a special Script to clean any kinds of malware Since then I have cleaned several websites. So I am very confident that I will be able to clean your website and recover your old website again. I will use multiple antimalware to clean the website first and then will use my own specialized script to clean your website further. Then I will restore your website as it was before. I am ready to start right away and will finish this within a day. Looking forward to your reply. Regards
