  I recently found hundreds of posts with post_type oembed_cache while looking into my database. Many of them appear to be spam. I can’t for the life of me figure out how there are being injected into my database. Here is a picture from phpmyadmin LINK. Is anyone else having this issue? Can anyone offer any insight? How do I clean this up and more importantly how do I prevent it from happening?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Thank you for your speedy response. The website is https://www.drgplumbing.ca but it is indeed self-hosted so I will try the support forum you linked to.
