SITE HACKED 2 TIMES IN 3 DAYS EVEN WITH CLOUDFLARE PREMIUM

My site has been hacked 2 times in 3 days and I have ultra secure HTTPS along with Cloudflare Premium with firewall but still able to hack it. When someone goes to my site and clicks on a button it takes them through to bad sites. Please find below my server logs to help me identify who is doing it, how they are doing it and how to stop them doing it again.




Many thanks

HI
See some Cloudflare support pages regarding hacked sites at  https://www.google.com/search?q=support+Cloudflare+Premium+hacked+site
--------
If you post your url we can take a look at your site.
Thanks.

The reason I mentioned cloudflare is that it should be impossible for the site to be hacked as have the premium firewall of cloudflare. I have restored my site to an early day to get rid for the second time the hack which when someone clicks on a button it takes them through to a different site so even if I post my URL it will not show you the problem. Can you see through the server logs how they managed to hack my site?

I recorded a HAR file when the site was hacked but did not let me publish it when I first posted but will try again now so hopefully you can see and advise how they did it and how to protect my site from a 3rd hack.

Did not let me attache HAR file to this email so not sure how to show you the actions now that rolled back so if you can look at my server log.

Thanks

HI
If this is something on your site then you need to  find out what it is that is causing the redirects you refer to.
Also check your devices for keyloggers, etc.

"Can you see through the server logs how they managed to hack my site?" etc - sounds like you need to be talking to your host/cloudflare etc

I did and they said

Hi there,
Thanks for reporting the issue and sorry to hear that there are unexpected redirects on the site.
It appears your site is hacked and attacker injects redirects inside the website's code. You would need to find the redirect and remove it from the site. Sadly, this is out of Cloudflare's support scope and you will need to do this yourself.
You can read the below article on the suggestion to do that for Wordpress sites:
As to why this happens, you likely have types of malware or security vulnerabilities on your site that allowed an attacker to gain access to the site and place the malicious redirect.

I thought my site was ultra secure so can someone please tell me where the vulnerability is that is enabling them to hack my site???

How to see server logs
Sep 23, 2019
I think they were able to hack my site via the plugin below.

To fix the site I restored to an early date, removed that plugin and changed my log in url

Glad you found the issue.
RE secure HTTPS
HTTPS helps prevent intruders from tampering with the communications between your websites and your users’ browsers. It does not prevent hacking of the site itself.
 
Plugins such as Wordfence will help keep your website itself safe.
