So how can we prevent this from happening again? Here are some guides.

1. Backup: Keep a copy of your site at least once or twice a month. This will allow you to recover all your files seamless should there be a problem in the future. I didn’t do this so I guess lessons learned.

3. Don’t install themes: Though I use free themes on my site, I would suggest that if you could create themes, do it yourself. This will prevent unwanted or hidden codes on your site.
4. Don’t install too much Plugins: Plugins are sometimes coded poorly thus will give a chance for you to be hacked.
