    I’ve searched for the topic in this forum but no results were found.

    A blog of mine was hacked by widgetserver malware and Wordfence hasn’t been able to detect it. Both WordPress and Wordfence are up to date. I’d appreciate any help. Thank you.

    Hi @marcelotodaro,

    Can you go into Appearance -> Wdigets and delete Sala de Imprensa da Igreja?

    It is injecting some malicious JavaScript that is redirecting your website:

    <li id="text-3" class="widget widget_text"><h4 class="widgettitle">Sala de Imprensa da Igreja</h4>
			<div class="textwidget"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdn.widgetserver.com/syndication/subscriber/InsertWidget.js"></script><script>if (WIDGETBOX) WIDGETBOX.renderWidget('f80137fa-d17c-4f8e-b7e7-277f999f2235');</script><noscript>Get the <a href="http://www.widgetbox.com/widget/lds-church-newsroom-blueskin">Newsroom - LDS Church</a> widget and many other <a href="http://www.widgetbox.com/">great free widgets</a> at <a href="http://www.widgetbox.com">Widgetbox</a>!</noscript></div>
		</li>

    I’ll forward this snippet onto our team and we’ll catch these cases in the future!
