Hi there just wanted toi check something with you as I think my site may be vulnerable to attack if it hasnt been already!

I had “wordfence” and “wordpress back up to dropbox” plug ins installed on my site but received a warning shown below from Wordfence 2 days ago

”

Critical Problems:

* File contains suspected malware URL: /home/sgwebsit/public_html/huntermosaics/wp-content/backups/sgwebsit_huntermosaics_current-backup.sql.598503e6ebb0c9ab7c3e2ef04b5e7cc05e81c27e-wpb2d-secret

”

Unfortunately I was unable to check the site until today, and have found that aforementioned two plug ins have disappeared! To try and find out why, I googled it and found that this may be an indicator that my site has been hacked! I then checked the succurri site and found that the reference to may be connected to a vulnerable plug in, the “Rev Slider ” which – I think -comes packaged with your virtue premium theme. I have not installed that plug in on my theme however, so would not have thought this was an issue for my site. I surely cannot update a plug in that has not been installed?

Anyway, can you offer any advice?
Sandra
