Malware issue

  • Hello,
    I have multiple wordpress sites hosted on one server. Google keeps listing a few of my sites as malware, but when I go and look at the suspected code, it looks like it might be meant to be there. It’s on the index.php file of all my sites. The code is below. Could sometime tell me if this code is good or bad or if I should get rid of it? I don’t understand why Google is saying only one of my sites has malware when they all have this code in the index.php file.

    Thanks!!!

  • @clayton.James Can you explain your comment? I’m not sure I understand what you meant/

    @kmessigner I’ve seen some of those articles but not all. Thanks for posting. IYO, what’s the best way to “harden” WP? I got hacked on a fresh install that was less than 12 hours old and had security plugins installed.

    I’m beginning to think it’s a problem with GoDaddy… Any secure (and inexpensive) hosting recommendations?

    adebaby: That sounds promising. Stupid question: how do I access my server logs? I’ve been looking all over the place and can’t figure it out.

    Thanks

    It will be in your admin pages somewhere. but i would get an ftp program and look in all your wordpress plugins for toolpack and check existing plugins are up to date and secure. remove any old plugins u dont need

    I followed everything here, https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Hardening_WordPress.

    I have Web Defender monitor the site. They do one for free.

    Still, at the big security conference here in SF last week, the consensus was the hackers are winning.

    someone wrote that russian servers should be banned from the internet due to all the trouble they cause. can agree now

    @adebaby I FOUND that Toolsbox plugin! It was from the same IP that you had. Now in the process of clean everything out and changing passwords. Thanks!

    The code example posted by sharonbarnes is triggering a malware warning when trying to access this conversation. Users of a windows operating system and AVG antivirus, will probably experience AVG as identifing the code (correctly, or incorrectly) as an active exploit “in this thread“, and will aggressivly deny any access to it. Leaving the user with the impression that there is a virus on the page you are now currently reading. ??

    I tagged the thread with a “modlook”, and my comment was just a short note to any mod that saw it, so that they could do whatever they needed to prevent the virus warning. Sorry for any confusion!

    That is why I encourage folks not to post malware code or even parts of it.

    @claytonjames @kmessinger Sorry…I didn’t realize that would happen. I’ve never been hacked before ??

    No worries. When folks get hacked they go into panic mode.

    @claytonjames Ah, I gotcha. Thanks for the explanation.

    @kmessinger Thanks so much for all of your help. ??

    I didn’t realize that would happen. I’ve never been hacked before ??

    Don’t worry sharon, It gets easier the second time…

    I’m kidding, really, just KIDDING I say!!! I’m so, so, sorry. I just couldn’t help myself!

    (Holy cow, what the heck is wrong with me?) I’m very sorry. …twisted sense of humor.

    LMAO ??

    I will be buffing up my security big time and doing back ups all the time thats for sure! thanks for help ??

    Im thinking of splitting my hosting. multi domain hosting on one account is convenient but not as secure

    Still getting a virus warning. It’s coming from the pastebin link.
