Host CPU usage is extreme, Can't Figure out Why.
-
The Website Rootmyandroid.org was working fine. But suddenly my host mailed me to notify that my website was using CPU more than alloted, while i was getting no such respective traffic. The Traffic was Lower than what i usually get.
I tried to Deactivate many Plugins, Deactivated Jetpack and many other Plugins which can cause this issue. Tested which plugins may cause issues using the P3 Plugin y Godaddy. The process admin-ajax.php was 10 times is the Processes.
After 10 hours my website was flagged as malware by Google. I started working on webmaster to figure out what went wrong. So i came to know that i was a victim of SoakSoak Malware that hit 100,000 wordpress websites that day.
i followed this article to get back to normal, as google stopped all incomming traffic. https://www.inspire2rise.com/how-to-disinfect-website-infected-from-soaksoak-malware.htmlthe next day everything was fine. and my CPU usage went high again. i tried activating deactivating plugins and also installed some Protection plugins to know if there were failed login attempts. For a while it was fine then i got alot of failed login attemps(in multiple of 100s).
After few minutes my host Took my website down. And been 3 days the issue has not been resolved as hostgator customer service replies almost after 24 hours.
I tried to backup my website and shift it to another server.
I installed wordpress on friends hsoting account. Merged and renamed databases folders using phpMyAdmin. Also copied WP-themes and wp-plugins folder to that server.As i changed the DNS, In a matter of seconds my Website was using 3000 seconds of CPU in 1 hour(3600) seconds. I deleted all plugins and themes, but still the CPU usage was very high. I checked CPU processes and noticed there were alot of index.php processes. So i took screenshot and Changed back the DNS to the Old host.

Please help me with anything and everything you have. Any help will be appreciated.
I can even upload my wp-content, wp-admin and wp-includes folder if required.
