 * Carefully follow [this guide](https://wordpress.org/support/article/faq-my-site-was-hacked/).
   When you’re done, you may want to implement some (if not all) of [the recommended security measures](https://wordpress.org/support/article/hardening-wordpress/)
   and [start backing up your site](https://wordpress.org/support/article/wordpress-backups/).

 * You can either download the database to your local machine and use your favourite
   text editor, or use a plugin such as [https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-search-replace/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-search-replace/).
   If you replace with nothing, then the bad code will be stripped out:
 * Search for: `{bad string}`
    Replace with:
 * Of course, make a backup first in case things go wrong.
