SEO - in hacked wordpress

SEO - in hacked WordPress: What do hackers do? They upload malware on the server where the WordPress is by recognizing and using the security holes. Hacked WordPress sites is something that will remain as something possible even in the future so luckily there are different companies who work with helping WordPress users against this problem. The problem with hacked websites created in WordPress is not unusual nowadays. Many WordPress user experience this problem. In all cases the reason for this problem is bad admin password or security holes. The security holes are mostly found in templates or plugins that users have chosen to use. They are a result of bad programming and/or not updated template or plugin or WordPress.
Many people forget or ignore WordPress updates and that can lead to the problem described above.
What do hackers do? They upload malware on the server where the WordPress is by recognizing and using the security holes. The malware can be put in the existing files or in new created files or folders. It can be different from case to case but the goal is the same:
Make your website spread virus or overload the server by e.g. executing some form script as a spamming source.
One interesting detail in this sad situation is that there is some malware that seems to be a tool for creating a false search engine optimization, SEO, like in this case. SEO - in hacked wordpress False SEO: The real owner found his own website in a google search presented in totally different way than expected. Using the Google translate tool, the text in the example above says this in Japanese: ロクシタン アーモンド デリシャス ソープ 50g公式直営店 ... 【セレブ愛用人気ブランド!】 ロクシタン アーモンド デリシャス ソープ 50g公式直営店,【14年秋冬セール】アヴェダ |アベンヌ|アルビオン. 【アウトレット:箱不良】ロクシタン ... which means this in English: L'Occitane Almond Delicious Soap 50g official retail stores ... [Favorite celebrities popular brand! ] L'Occitane Almond Delicious Soap 50g official retail stores, [14 years Fall Sale] Aveda | Avene | Albion. Outlet: Box bad] L'Occitane ... And of course it does not have any connection to the real one website.   Removing all folders with strange names (names with random letters)  and all files with malware and updating WordPress to the latest version was one solution in this case. Another one would be to remove the whole WordPress and reinstall it as a new and fresh one. Hacked WordPress sites is something that will remain as something possible even in the future so luckily there are different companies who work with helping WordPress users against this problem. Some of them can probably be found at: https://www.google.se/?gws_rd=ssl#q=my+website+is+hacked+and+contains+malware or as Swedish alternative results: https://www.google.se/?gws_rd=ssl#q=hackad+hemsida+inneh%C3%A5ller+skadlig+kod   So, do not forget or ignore WordPress updates. They can save your own website and your money!
