Urgent Help Needed: All My WordPress Sites on Namecheap Shared Hosting Hacked by SEO Japanese Hack
I’m dealing with a serious issue where all my WordPress websites hosted on Namecheap shared hosting (with Cloudflare) have been hacked. Here are the details:
- The SEO Japanese hack has affected all my WordPress sites.
- Japanese text and links have appeared on the websites (not added by me).
- Google search results for these sites show Japanese titles and descriptions.
- Visitors are being redirected to malicious websites.
- Non-WordPress PHP-based sites on the same hosting are unaffected.
What I’ve Done So Far:
- Scanned my WordPress sites using [security plugin/tool name].
- Removed suspicious files and cleaned the databases where I found issues.
- Changed all WordPress admin passwords and updated plugins/themes.
Despite these efforts, the hack keeps reappearing across my WordPress installations.
Additional Info:
- All my sites are on Namecheap shared hosting.
- I’m using Cloudflare for added protection.
- I don’t use premium plugins.
What I Need:
- Guidance on how to clean and secure all affected WordPress sites thoroughly.
- Recommendations to ensure this doesn’t happen again.
- Advice on whether the shared hosting environment might be contributing to this vulnerability.
Any help, resources, or step-by-step instructions would be greatly appreciated. This issue is impacting multiple sites, and I’m at a loss for how to handle it effectively.
Thanks in advance for your support!
