    I built a site for a client locally and used wp migration (pro version) to migrate to the live site. 2 Days later I got an email from wordpress saying “Your Site is Experiencing a Technical Issue” as the title and email starts with

    “WordPress has a built-in feature that detects when a plugin or theme causes a fatal error on your site, and notifies you with this automated email.

    In this case, WordPress caught an error with one of your plugins, All-in-One WP Migration.“

    I went to the site to check it out and it was completely replaced with a japanese store website selling kitchen gear. I logged into the admin and it had zero css. I located plugins to turn them all off and it redirected me to a 404 page. Same when I tried to go into users. I ended up removing the site completely. I did a quick search and sa that wp migration was hacked back in August. is this related to that? What can I do? I just purchased it but now im afraid to use the product.
