Hi, my hosting company has recently reported a malware alert :

>>>

We received a notice that there was malicious content on your account. Upon further investigation we determined that a malicious party uploaded the content through your xcloner plugin which does require authentication, however, the default password for this plugin is very weak. They were able to get in and modify files and upload the malicious content through this vulnerability. At this time we have disabled the plug in so it cannot be used to re-compromise your account.

<<<

 

Now the pb is that the "menu" and "widget" option does not appear anymore in my wordpress dashboard

(even after a wordpress update) - so i can't edit and change anything in menu or widget area 

and all my content in my widget area (sidebar) has disappear 

 

I'd be glad if you can help me a bit with that issue.

thanks

it may be fixed now, but i still get a malware on my site.

actually i lost a bit of content on the site (on sidebar), i cannot edit the "menu" and "widget"

i am not sure if the content is still on the site or not, or was totally deleted

if you could have a quick look at it, i would appreciate.

please pm

thks
