How to Detect Malware on Your Website
Not all hacks are obvious. Sometimes malware runs silently in the background stealing data. Here is how to spot it.
Signs Your Site is Compromised
- Sudden drop in traffic: Google may have blacklisted you.
- Strange popups: Redirects taking users to spam or adult sites.
- New admin users: Check your users list for accounts you didn't create.
- Modified core files: Files like index.php or wp-config.php showing recent modified dates.
