Summary

My WordPress website appears to have been hacked and is currently experiencing issues. I need an experienced website security expert to thoroughly investigate the website, identify the source of the compromise, remove any malware or malicious code, and fix any vulnerabilities. The freelancer should: Scan the website files, database, themes, and plugins. Identify and remove malware, backdoors, and suspicious code. Determine how the website was hacked. Fix security vulnerabilities and secure the website against future attacks. Verify that the website is functioning properly after cleanup. Provide a summary of findings and recommendations.
