Hello everyone,
I recently discovered I was attacked by a Japanese seo hack. Unfortunately I realized the attack very late and the hacker had plenty of time to index new pages. He indexed more than 4.000 pages. After I realized I was attacked I removed him from the search console, completely reinstalled all of the WordPress files, changed all passwords related to my website, installed wordfence and booter bots and crawlers manager. I no longer have malicious file in my directory. However, I realized something when I checked the wordfence live traffic:
I see google bots crawling to a url previously created by the hacker and that url redirects the bot to my website. Wordfence doesn’t stop this because I don’t wanna block google bots. Even though I added the strings in the said URLs (such as index.php?, recollection.php? , and such) to the Booter so it rejects a bot when it tries to access to the URLs with the blocked strings, the redirections still slip through Booters protection. I think this causes google bots to consider the pages that redirect as valid and part of my site.
How do I stop this? What I think I should do is stop all traffic that comes to my site through a redirection? Is this possible? Do you have other ideas?
