I’ve had hacking problems on my site twice and I had help from wpmudev support to help me. I don’t know if this service is still included in standard support. But I never had any problems with intrusions again. Today I only use Defender

Recently I had a problem where the site didn’t seem to be affected. No page on the front end had a problem, but I noticed several strange files in the WordPress installation and I had to reinstall WordPress manually because I couldn’t access the admin area

Today I follow a specific procedure for when websites become completely inaccessible. I use a free version of the virus die plugin as it does not need wordpress installed to verify the site and the interface is external to the site

In reply to Middlelab.

That’s a good thing — for sure (see #2 behind “Don’t Stress).

Cheers!

“You visit your WordPress site and, wait a minute…it looks different. There were some changes made that you didn’t create yourself. So, you go to log in to take a peek around and fix the issues. However, it’s not letting you log in. Uh-oh. It looks like your WordPress site was (gulp!) hacked.”

First thing to do is to restore your website.

Great read, thoroughly enjoyed this one – the way defender has made management of any security issues a breeze has made me fall in love. Thanks for the superb team behind it, can’t wait for the additional upcoming features that are planned in the roadmap. WPMUDEV Blogs are a great help!
