Recurring Malware After Host Quarantine
Injected code and casino content were removed, WordPress components were updated, PHP was upgraded from 7.4 to 8.2, and a firewall and malware scanner were configured. The recurring infections stopped.
The hosting provider repeatedly quarantined infected files, but malware alerts and injected casino content kept returning.
Quarantining individual files had not addressed outdated application software. The site was running an end-of-life PHP version with outdated WordPress components.
Injected code and casino content were removed. WordPress, the active theme and plugins were updated, PHP was upgraded from 7.4 to 8.2, and a firewall and malware scanner were configured.
The recurring infections stopped and the website stabilised after remediation and software modernisation.
