    Someone has been trying to login in to my website for a week now. I changed the login page url and enabled 404 error. In the log attempts, it shows someone is got a 404 error page while trying to go to https://www.blablabla.com/license.php.

    Function Priority Time Host User URL
    404 Error 3 2015-11-10 11:53:35 82.208.100.45 /license.php

    Probably, there’s always a hacker trying to get into your site

    I have no idea what license.php is, so is this a hack?

    Does this file exist in your root directory?

    i only find license.txt. I had already changed my login page url, but somehow still managed to find my login page and tried signing in.

    It’s a dumb robot that is stabbing in the dark

    @kmessinger that domain is not the main domain for the website. Does it make a difference? I checked the main domain and according to sucuri, the main domain is not blacklisted.

    The site I checked was the one on your profile.

    Hi-

    Do you have any security plugins installed and enabled? I personally like WordFence.

    Here’s how I would go about cleaning up:

    -Make sure you change your password to something really strong (uppercase/lowercase/number/character)

    -Make a backup of your wp-content/themes/ folder

    -Write down the plugins you have activated

    -Download a fresh copy of the latest version of WP

    -Using FTP, log into your server and delete all the WP core files and re-upload the fresh copies (including downloading all new plugin files and reuploading)

    -Take a look at your home directory and make sure there are no “odd” files (you can compare what’s in the WP download folders with the folders on your server — if you find any discrepancies, proceed cautiously before deleting)

    -Get new Salt keys (good article here: https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/what-why-and-hows-of-wordpress-security-keys/)

    That’s just a starting point. Depending on your level of technical skill, there are more advanced things you can do. But doing the above is a bare minimum.

    @kmessinger
    Both domains are directed to one IP address. I don’t understand how one would be blacklisted and the other one wouldn’t be.

    @lisafoxnet
    Thank you very much that was very helpful. I had already did a few things on that list. I will continue to complete the rest.
