I have had WP sites getting hacked in the past, but never like this before.
I had my client get in touch to say that they had a notice underneath their website name under Google search results stating "This website may be hacked".
So I logged into Google Webmaster Tools and somehow a file called 'hollister.php' had found its way into the wp-includes folder and was producing spam in Google search results.
I removed this file and upgraded WP and all plugins. I also did another scan using Wordfence to check that everything was in order.
I used Google's 'Fetch' tool to verify that the file had been removed.
Does anyone know what I can do to remove them and stop Google from thinking that the website is hacked?
