As for deleting the wp-cron file, can it just be renamed? Is this not an important file for updating, etc.?

Mark,
Amazing post with invaluable content. And, yes, the above site was hacked into about eighteen months ago. It was my first blog and had about 150 posts with Adsense on each post. I was using Google Conquest to build and manage my blogs, and their tech people fixed it–by cuttiing out about half the posts with no means or recovering them. Much of the Adsense code had also been deleted, so I replaced it, and added some new posts.

But the site’s never been the same since. Google’s Adsense tracking measures only about a third of the traffic, and while I was getting decent Adsense revenue before, there’s barely a trickle now, and I get about 150 visitors a day.

So I’ll take your directions and see if I can recover any of what worked earlier.
Thanks,
Tom O’Boyle

Awesome post Mark. I had my admin taken over 4 times in 2 days on one site but had to consult tech support to find and remove exploit. In the process of trying to fix it myself I reinstalled the site from scratch and even started with no content. That turned out to be a plus as the site was bloated with thousands of pages which included irrelevant content as a result of auto-posting. On a competitive search term that I was never able to rank decently on I ended up on page one of google after all the updates. I manually posted unique seo articles on a term that I am advised to forget even trying to rank for by other ‘seo experts’. The term is ‘the Holy Spirit’ in case you are wondering which was a personal goal more then a profit objective. For churches of course this represents profit potential. I don’t represent any church or truth for money organizations. Just have my own opinions to share about the subject that I wanted to share on the blog.

Hi there.
Oh yes, my site was hacked and I had no idea how to even get to to root of the problem. It was hacked into and wrecked by some clown who named themself ‘silver fish’
Anyway I want to thank you Mark for sorting it for me and am how taking your advices on how to protect myself from further tresspassers.
I have now idea how youi sorted it and because of my inexperience probably would have lost the site.
Thank you so much

Yeah, I had the same problem some time ago too, so I spent some time researching how to protect my blogs. There are actually many plugins which will help you to protect your blogs easily. I’ve posted the summary on my blog:

Ever since I didn’t have any hacking problems.
