Besides, the loss wasn’t just the $59.00!

Hello,

Everything was fine with my hosting and my main website, until I decided to do a fresh install of wordpress with Newspaper theme on a subdomain.

Right after installing the theme and activating it, some files and folders that I didn’t recognize started to appear and soon after I found replicated newspaper folders even inside my main directory. I tried deleting the folders, but they reappeared when I updated the directory.

In short, I had to reset the hosting, because all my hosting was compromised. And in the Skan of the server most of the contaminated files were in the wordpress installation with newspaper theme. That was what happened.

Now I’m afraid to use the theme again for any project. After all, I will end up losing U$ 59.00 from the purchase.
