How Could You Tell If Your Site Is Still Hacked

A few months ago my Amazon Wordpress sites got hacked.

I noticed something was wrong when i tried to login.My username and password had been changed.

Eventually i contacted my hosting company and everything was sorted.So i thought.

I installed Wordfence Security and thought that was the end of it.

But the problem is i have not made any sales since January which is very unusual as i always made half a dozen or more from each site?

I have noticed that there are 407 Hits redirected and 37 moved temporarily.What does this mean.

Could it be possible the Hackers planted something in my Wordpress files or even Hacked my Cpanel?

Is there any software i could use to check suspicious files etc.

    Those http codes don't necessarily indicate attempts of hacking.
    Somebody could have installed some malicious scripts in your codebase. You then moved hosts, but the exploits remained, so I'd suggest getting your site scanned.

    Another solution, if you don't want to spend money on cleanup, is to export your posts, delete everything and do a fresh wp install with a legit theme. Then import your posts back.

    There are plenty of resources (Off course quality ans legitimate resources) you'd fine online that can be helpful to you up to a great extent.

    In spite of that I would like to emphasize the following point as it plays a very important role to prevent your site from being hacked:

    Try to always lock down your directory and file permission. Log in to your c panel and change the permission except the owner, don't give the write privileged to the group and public permission.

    Maybe you need hire someone to help you.

    A lot of people mention sucuri.net. You could also Google for 'wordpress malware removal service' or something like that.
