Care to elaborate?

Do you suspect it was somehow related to using this plugin, or was it something else altogether?

Not sure what happened, hoping it was pure coincidence that I tried to use this plugin yesterday, hosting is working on issue. What I know so far is: "found your site is infected and the server script renamed the document root to prevent further issues"
will let you know when I find out more

Cheers @PatcheZ! [+5Reps] for motivation against hackers :-)

I'd be interested to hear how things turn out, and what insights you may have for other WP developers whom are trying to avoid such hassles?

All the Best!

Support fixed crash issue but are not sharing a hell of a lot, seems someone from europe (France) hates my site and is back TODAY, used IP Deny in cpanel to hopefully block some of their IPs using this as a FEEBLE attempt to block them, waiting on support to inform me more

Thanks for sharing - as I am always looking to learn more about WP, especially re: security and efforts to combat attacks on one's website.

I don't know if this may help, but I found a lot of useful info. here w.r.t WP and security:

http://bestblackhatforum.com/Thread-GET-...+web+audit

There may be some techniques and strategies in there to help, if not in this case - maybe toward preventing other attacks in the future.

Please let me know how it goes, and if your host shares any info. / strategies they used to fix things.

Good Luck and All the Best!

thanks
