Summary

I need a Linux server security specialist to remove a persistent malware infection from my Hostinger VPS running AlmaLinux 8. The server has been repeatedly flagged for abuse and outbound attacks, and the issue appears to be at the server/OS level, not just WordPress files. I need help identifying how the malware entered the system, removing it thoroughly, and hardening the server to prevent future issues. This is a WordPress site, but the focus is on server-level security and cleanup.
