    I also started seeing this error after being hacked by Mister Spy:

    Warning: htmlspecialchars(): charset `UTF-7′ not supported, assuming utf-8 in /home/*******/public_html/wp-includes/formatting.php on line 3980

    The Exploit Scanner plugin can help detect damage so that it can be cleaned up. Other things you should do:

    • Change passwords for all users, especially Administrators and Editors.
    • If you upload files to your site via FTP, change your FTP password.
    • Re-install the latest version of WordPress.
    • Make sure all of your plugins and themes are up-to-date.
    • Update your security keys.
    • See FAQ My Site Was Hacked.

    – Just cleaning out files isn’t enough. When you’re done, you may want to implement some (if not all) of the recommended security measures.

    Take a deep breath and carefully follow this guide.

    When you’re done, you may want to use some third-party web scanner.
