Hi, a few days ago my site got infected with a malware redirect to a website named cpamatik.com. Two files in the Newspaper theme folder were infected with malicious code causing the redirect: header.php and header-empty.php. I’m still trying to find out how exactly this happened. Could this be related to the Newspaper theme? I’m running Newspaper 8.6 and the latest wordpress (4.9.8). Anyone else encountered something similar?
