I have just spent the last day cleaning a WordPress site that had been infected with malware. I believe the site was attacked due to an out of date plugin that had a vulnerability. Detailed here from @wordfence - wordfence.com/blog/2020/09/m…

Most of the attacks on WordPress sites are crude. They are automated attacks trying to exploit commonly known vulnerabilities. Taking a few simple steps can help secure your site. It won't stop the attacks but it will make it harder for them to get through.

Make sure that your WordPress admin user is not called 'Admin'. This is the most common user that is attacked. Also do not call you admin user after your domain i.e. if your domain is thisismysite.co.uk, do not call your admin user 'thisismysite'
