• Hello,

    Wordfence plugin notified me about admin login from a user I didn’t create from a different location. Fortunately, I noticed Wordfence email only after one hour after they logged in. Here is what happened next:

    1. My site behaved as usual.

    2. They deleted Wordfence plugin so that I don’t realize their further steps.

    3. Strangely enough, their new admin username wasn’t listed in my USERS in my WP dashboard, but I found it via PHPMyAdmin database and deleted it.

    4. I changed my admin password.

    5. Wordfence scan only detected a change in two readme.txt files for two different plugins. I guess you can’t be hacked via a readme.txt file, can you?

    6. No other abnormalities were detected.

    So my question is: What else do I have to do now? How do I figure out how they got in in the first place and how do I protect site in the future?

    Thanks!
