    I lost access to my WP Admin area, getting only a blank screen. Loking at my error log, I found this:

    [ Many log lines and spam links redacted ]

    I finally removed all plugins and gained access again.
    So much for using updraft plus, thanks but NO THANKS. 🙁

    Hi Ivan,

    Someone has hacked your WP site. When hackers break in, they will look to add code in many places. Often they will search for popular plugins which are likely to be installed, and add their code in there. The code above is not part of the original plugin – which you can verify by downloading a pristine copy and comparing.

    You will also want to find out how the hackers actually got in – finding out which plugins they modified after breaking in does not tell you this.

    David
