I use newspaper on all of my websites. I like this theme so much, and how customizable it is that I have it on several websites.
Last month my websites were hacked, and I got a re-direction notice. It was devastating to me.
It took my husband a whole day to figure out.
Someone was able to enter, and set themselves up as an admin.
After looking through the files on your forum, I see this has happened in the past.
After logging into my websites again, I see multiple new admins.
We have plugins that include:
Sucuri Security – Auditing, Malware Scanner and Hardening
Wordfence Security
I may have to consider moving to another theme.
My theme is up to date, and my wordpress is up to date.

Hello,
Indeed, some security issues have been reported, but they have been fixed.
Also, in this kind of situation is recommended to have a fresh install for your server and for WordPress and theme.
Also, I saw you have sent an email to contact@tagdiv.com and one of my colleagues answered you, please check the email.
Thank you!
Unfortunately, I had to move all my websites off this theme for the potential of cross site hacking. Its too bad, because I absolutely love how customizable this theme is. I purchased multiple copies of it, so in the future if they fix it, I could come back. I am sorry Usman.
Two plugins that I found help are Wordfence, and Sucuri . You can see live traffic come into your website.
