Wait, how often does your Wordpress site get successfully hacked like that?

Keep in mind the first time was about 20 years ago.

One time the hosting provider got compromised, FTP server exploit IIRC, they ran a recursive search and replace from root directory of the server.

It depends on how long you've been using WordPress, whether you use plugins, whether they're well-maintained or not, and so on.

Back around 2010, there were security vulnerabilities in WordPress or its popular plugins almost every month.
