How do you Hack WorrdPress so the DNS loops and never resolves?

  • https://www.vmerc.com/

    Someone must have injected something into my site, and it does a never-ending loop, redirecting it back to wp-admin/install.php. No, I did not forgot to install wordpress, the Site has been installed long before and has been running for Months already. I don’t know if you’ll be able to view this, but that’s my site above, and I can’t load my site anymore because it’s been “Looping”.

    Fixed it by restoring a database backup. How can you prevent attackers from accessing your database? Injecting something into the database?

    Plugins and themes play a big role in letting attackers in. WordPress itself is considered a very secure CMS (not completely but very close).

    Always stay up to date with plugins and themes. Also follow https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Hardening_WordPress.

    One more thing to note as well. Your server settings also play a big role in how secure your site is. One of the biggest things is to find out how you were injected and go from there.
