Recommendations

To find out the reason for the infection of your site's files, it is recommended to:


1. Check the date of creation / modification of files with malicious code and analyze the logs of access to the site in this time period.

2. Check the logs of access to the site and analyze how these files were created / changed.

3. Check the site's scripts for vulnerabilities in order to prevent them from being reused by attackers to download malicious code.

We also recommend updating your CMS , as well as its plugins/modules , in order to minimize the risk of a similar situation occurring in the future, as developers fix previously found vulnerabilities in updates. Do not install plugins from unverified sources.


Be attentive! Simply removing malicious code without taking additional security measures can make your site easy prey for attackers and lead to re-infection.
