rankings were thus sturdy that I did not even ought to do any link building. I
virtually left it to run and smiled whenever I checked my Adsense account and
located free cash in there..

Well, truly it clad that they did not have a backup. And nor did I. :(
Upon investigation, it clad that that they had been ready to hack the location as a result of a vulnerability in AN recent plugin that I had. What was additional annoying to seek out was that within the current version of the plugin, the vulnerability had already been fixed! Thus it had been just about my fault for not keeping my website} up to date… that gets laborious to recollect after you have only 1 site - coupled with many, or 100 or more!
A monthly loss of $3k is tough to swallow, however there wasn't abundant I may do excluding begin the journal once more and hope that Google gave
It was a chess lesson. However what I did learn was:
invariably keep AN up to this point, full website backup
invariably keep your plugins, themes and computer code up to this point
Trust Maine once I say that you simply don't wish this to happen to you. It's a true slap within the face once you have got to work thus laborious on a website, to not mention any lost income… that actually hurts!
You apprehend and that I know that you simply 'should' be frequently changed your plugins, themes and Wordpress computer code itself but…

The 3 Groundbreaking Benefits You'll See When Using WP Pipeline
1. Security
Awful things can happen if you don't keep your blog software and plugins up to date:
Ever heard of hackers?
Let me tell you how hackers work with Wordpress. First they find a vulnerability or in hacking speak 'a black hole'. This is a bug within the software itself or within a plugin.
The next step, is that they find all other blogs that have this vulnerability and get to work.
It could be that they just act maliciously on your blog by replacing files with their signature files.
It could be that they replace your AdSense or Amazon affiliate code with their own so that you lose income.
It could be that they then use your blog to send out millions of spam emails resulting in your reputation going down the tube and being banned by your web hoster.
The best case scenario is that you have a backup and get your blog online again quickly.
The worst case scenario is that your hosting service shuts you down or that you are blacklisted by Google and penalized by the other search engines.
But let's look at the next step:
Usually, the vulnerability is patched fairly quickly. So, the plugin developer releases a new version or Wordpress release a new version of their software.
Then, what the hacker does is to search for blogs that have NOT updated as they know that those blogs are still wide open to perform their evil magic.
In short, the quicker that you upgrade to the latest versions, the less chance you have of being hacked.
And if you think that it wouldn't happen to you, do a search on google for Wordpress Blog Hacked and you will see over 3 million reports of other people having had it happen to them.
Once again, a MASSIVE way to be almost certain that it doesn't happen to you is to make sure that your plugins and installs are up to date.
