Hackers gaining access to my theme

My site has been hacked off and on for the last 3 days. I have paid for service to clean it up and now this is the report I am getting:
Warning: Found outdated tagDiv Theme Newsmag inside: ./wp-content/themes/Newsmag/includes/td_config.php – Version: 2.3.6 – Please update asap.
Warning: Found outdated tagDiv Theme Newsmag inside: ./wp-content/themes/Newsmagbak/includes/td_config.php – Version: 2.0 – Please update asap.

TO ME this is so confusing because it seems all my plugins are updated and my themes seem updated so I am LOST. Can anyone please fill me in on what to do?

Thanks, Danna (PowerSellingMom.com )

Hi,

You are using a very old theme version from what I can see, older then two years. It is highly recommended to keep WordPress (now version 4.9.6) and the theme (latest version is 4.4) updated to the latest version

Having older versions of WordPress and theme may cause problems with website functionality and vulnerability.
Please update as soon as possible to the latest theme version and WordPress (if needed)

good evening. I am very concerned about this situation. whenever wp is vulnerable. which ones are delivered by the support to ensure the security of our site? today, the whole era stands on a server of its own. How do I back up the files – to ensure the recovery of my data if it occurs Anyone could reassure me. Hugs,

Learn to export your wp database from wp panel, backup php dbase via your hosting panel, and backup entire site via ftp.

See my security guide from Simions post above.

Check the changelog when new theme version announced to see if its a security fix or just feature updates.
