According to Sucuri, WordPress administrators who have been hacked should strongly consider taking the following steps to eradicate the intruders and infections:
- Log in to the administrative panel and remove any unfamiliar admin users (the first step after the attackers get in is to add a new user).
- Change all passwords for all admin users (and make sure all legitimate accounts are protected with strong passwords this time!)
- Update the secret keys inside WordPress, otherwise any rogue admin user can remain logged in.
===> Reinstall WordPress from scratch or revert to a known, safe backup. <===

Possible instructions for educators on how they can work together with the learners. Knowing the tools for 21st Century Learning is primordial to give quality courses.
One very important knowledge who needs to get taught is “Critical Thinking“; it brings out also new ideas and the courage to become an engager and helps to try to build a better world in both worlds: “Real World” and “Virtual World” (Internet)! . Teaching “Critical Thinking” to your students and learners is a MUST for a world who is changing very fast (sometimes too fast…) so that a lot of people can’t follow anymore… But by knowing “Critical Thinking” people would be catching up more quick, so very important!!! . ===> Critical Thinking is a catalyst when well used together with Social Medias! <===
