 * Hi guys, my site is under attack and some other sites have suffered the same 
   type of lines. We’re worried about this matter because our site has been demoted
   from Google and other search engines, they think we’re malware seeds.
 * In the latter days our sites have been infected in two different places
    wp-content/
   plugins/sharebar/js/default.php wp-includes/js/jquery/default.php
 * We change our passwords, usernames and other stuff related to our security but
   in the last 3 weeks, every other day we receive the same attack. The plugin was
   removed to avoid future attacks.
 * Anyone knows how to prevent this?

 * You need to go through all of them to completely clean up the hack and remove
   any “back doors.” It sounds like that has not been done if you are getting hacked
   over and over again.
