Hi Kevin,

Yes – those plugins do good jobs, but the message is that you need to pay attention to your PC and all the other ways people could get access to your site files.

Of course you need to keep your WordPress installation secure, which means taking all sensible steps including keeping both it and your plugins updated (which I omitted to mention above).

But all that comes to nothing if the hackers can access your site via your FTP login details.

So you need to think security in everything you do on your PC and online.

Cheers,

Martin.

Seeing that index.php with bunch of other files were changed, I considered moving on a different server. Thankfully I have a backup of the database before the attack.Unfortunately, currently, my new server is down for hardware upgrades (bummer).Hackers will always look for way to get in to your site. So we should guard every possible entry. My blog was hacked also on my previous host. Seeing that index.php with bunch of other files were changed, I considered moving on a different server.
