Recently some of my clients got hacked, they had free versions of Sucuri and Wordfence (very good plugins) but that did not stop the malware. (I think paid ones might have). The malware got it via few plugins (mostly via OptinMonster, TrustPulse or PushEngage) even if they were disabled

I understand it can't be just one service and there are multiple points of failure, but still... Experience sys guys, which free service do you trust the most?

Also yeah, I know almost impossible for free ones to be very very good! But maybe some open source project out there that many don't know of?

Do check please! Over 1.2 million wordpress websites compromised. Hackers made admin accounts and are sitting silently. On some sites they activated Cloudflare/ClearFake malware.

Please search your admin accounts and make sure you don't spot something new/unknow. Check all your folders (esp Plugins) for random PHP files and codes.

Free version of Wordfence didn't detect it!!

Hope this helps someone. Our clients had to learn the hard way! (Plugins weren't even enabled. They come bundled with Monsterinsight Pro)

Had to email my son's school. I have NEVER marked it as spam, and the emails by the school ALWAYS land in the inbox (I did check, they have correct DKIM and SPF settings)

The reply was in my SPAM folder!! WTF GMAIL??

I am visually impaired and its already too difficult to me. these things make no sense and make life more difficult!

I asked Gemini AI and it said "When I send a message to a new person, add them to Other Contacts so that I can auto-complete to them next time" should be enabled in settings and IT ALREADY IS!

Please can someone help. I cant whitelist every email address I send to! And I can't let ALL emails come in as well
