Malware on site

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 18

I have three blogs. One uses the newspaper theme and the two others use another. Right now, the one using newspaper theme has been critically infected. As we talk, it has been blacklisted by Chrome; Google Search has removed it from all its relevant SERPs. BlueHost, my host, has deactivated it along with other blogs hosted on the account. Help, my brothers.

If you use an older theme version update the theme, update WordPress if needed as well
