    Hi

    I was wondering if WP Cerber can deactivate all of the plugins on the website.

    I receive multiple alerts like this:

    ————–

    Number of active lockouts: 5

Last lockout was added: December 9, 2022, 6:09 pm for IP xxxxxxxxx (xxxxxxxxxxx)

Reason: Multiple suspicious activities were detected

View activity for this IP: https://domain.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=cerber-security&tab=activity&filter_ip=xxxxxxxxxxx

View lockouts in the Dashboard: https://domain.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=cerber-security&tab=lockouts

    —————–

    When I log in to my website I see that all of the plugins are deactivated. Including WP Cerber.

    Hi!

    WP Cerber does not deactivate plugins. Since the list of active plugin is stored in the website database, it’s possible to deactivate all the plugins using a single SQL request. Probably, your website database has been restored from a backup. Anyway, something has altered the list.

    I was worried I was hacked because it is only happening on the websites that have these alerts. My other websites are fine.

    I did a full integrity check and it seems fine after I re-installed some plugins.

    Thank you!
