Somehow my hosting has some malware. It jacked up several sites. I am working with Sucuri to get it fixed. One thing that is happening is that new admin users are being created. In settings, I don’t have the box checked to allow for membership/subscribers. I have changed passwords. All updates are run. I am not sure how they are creating the new users, as admins. Any other suggestions? Plugins to use, etc?
Appreciate any feedback.

Surely they will also fix this for you? There is likely a script being run either locally (PHP shell, possibly a cron, etc…) or there is something that is allowing remote code execution.
There was a vulnerability recently that when woocomerce and elementor were installed together it was causing this. But it’s been long patched. Could it be that?
Are you using Essential Add-ons for Elementor plugin?
Sounds like you’re getting hit with the Essential Addons security vulnerability. Lots of info available about it with a quick google.
