1) Change all password associated with your wordpress site

2) Create a backup of you infected site.

3) Find the hacking method used to your work press site.

4) Scanning your work press site (Example: exploit scanner, Sucuri Security plugin).

5) Restore from backup (use clean backup if you have any) and fix the vulnerabilities.

Get help if you unsure how to.

Good Luck!

Make sure you change all your passwords to strong password.

Use the plugin from Step 4. You should be able to locate how they get in. Just setup a test box to go through your codes and databases. Check all the log files too.

yes, choose a very complex pwd. quickly install some good wp security plugins.
