My answer to this problem has been the plugin Wordfence. It's primary feature is a WAF whose rules update continuously and intercepts every request. Having worked at several agencies I've seen and inherited many hacked sites. I have never had a site be infected with a clean install using Wordfence. knocks on wood

Same here. WordFence has been a god-send. My agency offers fully custom sites, WordPress sites, and even builds on sites like Squarespace for people and I always differentiate them for clients. If it's a site that we'll end up managing, I always install WordFence and the developer license for it is incredibly reasonably priced. It's a 100% recommend from me for anyone considering it.

I use Wordfence and always thought it was good. But good to know that a lot of others find value in it too. Btw, looks like wordfence is getting killed with all the traffic from HN. Hopefully the increased sales will make it up to them :)

I'm a lone developer in a marketing agency. I manage hundreds of WordPress sites. Some are my own work, many are not. As someone who has inherited more than his fair share of compromised sites, thank YOU! WordFence is the immediate fix for 99% of the hacks I see. It stops malicious activity in its tracks until I can patch the issues. There are simply no other plugins even close to the quality of WordFence.
