Web hacks happen due to a lot of reasons, especially for common CMS
scripts like WordPress. It can be a bad theme, plugin or an insecure
permission. As you can see, we gave the customer steps to secure his wordpress website and he said he will implement it.
We can avoid 99% of hacks by securing the WP Admin area, wp-contents and avoiding low rated plugins/themes. I will have the quality department add/implement few more steps to check these hacks.
Server hacking/ check
=====================
- Logs, check entries from IP’s and what they accessed.
- File/Folder permissions secure?
- All passwords for root, mysql, ftp, etc should be changed to something more difficult
- Brute force should be installed
- Check for the scripts they may have gained access from
>> We can also run maldet, clamav anti viruses on that server to prevent further hacking

I've used Kaspersky protection for a number of years, I recommend this antivirus to everyone.
