2 hoursthank god i was able to convince my boss to let go the old wordpress site and only serve static pages when he wanted to have a brand new design, its been about 2months with the new design
Friendly reminder to anyone who cares enough that you can still use WordPress to make your site with all your fancy plugins and layouts, and then export that to a static site for hosting. No need to actually host Wordpress itself that way you avoid nearly all of this BS.
Simply Static is currently the most actively maintained solution, as a plugin for wp:

Anyone who hosts websites can check the logs and see the bots hammering away at wp/admin primarily, even if you are not running any WordPress. Low hanging meat? Fresh fruit?

I have developed and hosted over 760 WP sites since 2006 and have never been hacked. Ever.
Mediocre craftspeople blame their tools.

I’ve driven a poorly designed car without many safety features for years, and I’ve never flown through the windshield, ever.
Glad you got lucky. But a tool having one critical vulnerability after another has nothing to do with mediocre craftsmanship and blaming admins for getting hacked after updating their software is nothing but disrespectful and condescending
