Every day there are a number of new hacks that come online and the problem is affecting everyone. If you or a friend have found yourself at a tail end of a hack then then you’ll want to attend this talk. In it we will talk about the prominent WordPress hacks, how they affect and leverage WordPress resources and more importantly how to detect and remove. It will introduce you to working with Google Webmaster and how to deal with “Your site maybe be compromised” warnings in the Google’s search engine results pages. It will focus on what I have coined the Top 5 infections today for WordPress: Backdoors, Pharma Hack, Injections, and Malicious Redirects. It will employ the use of terminal commands, but hopefully delivered in a way that end-users can also understand. It will provide instructions how to navigate your host CPANEL configuration to make it work for you. It will also show steps that will help you protect yourself from these hacks.
