Unable to detect how my site has been compromised

  • Hi,

    I got a message from Google that my website (https://www.meditationiseasy.com) may be hacked. On checking the source code of various pages of the site, I found nothing. However, on checking the site’s pages with hxxps://aw-snap.info/file-viewer/ I can see that a malicious code is inserting links related to viagra, cialis etc on every page of my site.

    For example : checking the source code of this link in my browser reveals nothing: hxxp://meditationiseasy.com/meditation-intro/what-is-not-meditation/

    However, on checking this page on hxxps://aw-snap.info/file-viewer/, a number of links (starting from the line No. 507 of the code) relating to viagra etc are being shown. This is a clear cut case of SEO spam resulting in bad name to my site.

    I have run a deep scan of the site using wordfence. However, I am unable to detect/ trace from where this malicious code is coming to my site.

    Please help.

  • Hi,

    Usually, we see these kind of attacks from outdated themes and plugins. Make sure you remove any unused plugins or themes from your site. Update all themes and plugins that are in use. If you are on a shared hosting provider, you can be infected through other sites hosted on the same server. I’d recommend starting here:

    Hope that helps,
