So, an attacker was able to infiltrate into our WP through one of the plugins installed and injected a script which created more than 250,000 spam pages.
The pages got indexed and our rankings started to drop which brought our attention.
We have been able to find out which plugin was responsible but kow that the pages are indexed, we can't deindex more than 1000 pages per day through GSC.
What should we do to deindex those pages fast and recover our rankings.
Any ideas or thoughts will be appreciated.
What was the plugin?
I dunno Beav, maybe you should have engaged web development as a serious professional endeavor and you wouldn’t find yourself the owner of the biggest trash heap on the internet.
If you’re using a nulled plugin, remove it and you need to take the steps to remove malware.

Add redirects on all the fake pages/urls. Better than getting banned I think by Google. No?
Ensure that the URLs are 404 – Google will eventually remove them from the index. Do not redirect them – pages that have been removed should return a 404.
