Cron Scan

  • Hello there !

    Problem:
    Customer receives spam since couple of weeks.
    I checked the files in his FTP and the whole website with many security plug-in’s and everything seems to be clean.
    Furthermore I deleted in WP: old users, renewed password, delete old plug-in’s and update website, theme’s, languages and plug-in’s.

    I urged the hostingprovider to check their server and I was right:
    the provider found a hosting-user on the same server as my client, that was infected with a script.
    They shut it down.
    My customer did not receive spam for 1 day.
    But after 1 day: spam started again.

    Provider now says that WordPress uses WP-Cron and that’s not good.
    But I mean: WP Cron is also used for updates of WP…

    Can I use your plug-in to see strange cron tasks?
    Or can I use your plug-in to disable strange cron tasks?

    Any help would be highly appreciated
    Thanks in advance !

    Best regards,
    Dny
