Hey,
Yesterday my wordpress site on a synology with woocommerce has been compromised and I received a ransomware email.
They must have found an exploit in one of the plugins. How can I find out which plugins are safe or not. How can I avoid plugins with security problems?
I want to set up everything again but do my job better than last time.
Cheers

How do you know it has been compromised?
Ok guys. I will do my homework now and come back asap. Thanks so far.
How is the site compromised? Do you still have control of the site? Does the host have a backup? Were all your plugins and WordPress up to date?
Just because you got a ransom email doesn’t mean your site is compromised. I get ransom emails all the time threatening to expose pics taken with my webcam.
As in your other thread – the email is a scam.
Laugh at the bad English, block the address, delete and move on with your life.
This might be a good time to review your security/updating/backup procedures. If you are set up well in that regard, then you can mostly just ignore junk like this.
If that is too much of a hassle, and it IS a bit of a hassle, consider moving to managed WordPress hosting and having someone take care of it all for you.
