My WordPress (6.2) got compromised, and I just discovered that my oldest backup is ALREADY compromised.
I tried to “clean” PHP script manually but there are so many infected files that I just decided to reinstall from scratch.
I checked MySQL database and it looks fine to me (I mean: with no malicious contents)
Problem is: on this website I manage several plugins, some of them with license key
In your opinion is it safe to:
\- remove all files/directory
\- reinstall very same wordpress version from scratch
\- copy again wp-content/plugins to restore plugins
\- restore database from latest backup
\- restore wp-content/uploads (I check carefully and I do have ONLY PNG files there!)
thank you for your opinion!
