WordPress virus: Help me crack this

Unread post by AdeFemi »

Hello everyone,

I had one of my clients Woocomerce shop being compromised by malicious code. I did extensive search with different scanning tools like Sucuri, Wordfence, jetpack etc but mainly with wordfence. I have found several files and plugins that had malicious code injected to them and I had them removed. I keep scanning the files with Wordfence and a plugin named 'ywesesu' keeps getting in somehow. Because I scan frequenlty in the day I spot it and I remove it straight away so it doesn;t compromise other files but it keeps coming in. Other steps I did are
* Changed CPanel password
* Changed database password
* Removed all administrator accounts and changed the password of the main admin account
* Removed old and unsused plugins and themes
* Updates WP and all plugins to the latest version

My questions is. What else can I do in order to find how this malicious plugin gets in? Does anyone else had the same issue before.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thank you for your time.
