All of my index.php files were changed and my hosting companies response was to install wp firewall 2 and nothing about changing all passwords ect. (which I did).

I would think the hacker would have to break into my cpanel to make this change, am I wrong?

There are numerous pathways to inject code into any file if it's not secured.

Ok, I guess I better check and make sure all updates are updated and anything else I can think of.

Any thoughts on wp firewall 2 ?



Thanks SoZo
