I'll put in another plug for Code Garage. It's well worth the $15 per month for the hack monitoring and automated backups.

Thanks for the info, Darwin. Can you share the details in the private forum on how they got to you and where the bad data was so we can better secure our own sites?

 

Thanks!

I never found out how I was infected. I suspect thru DreamHost on a shared server. After remediation I upgraded Wp version (that might have left me vulnerable) and all plugins. No issues this week.

Seems like those shared servers are often vulnerable! I'm not sure if bluehost is more or less so here as I think they use some kind of virtual machine solution — no idea!

And that covers 10 sites? Very cool. That $15 might be worth the 1 hour or more I spend every month managing that manually!
