I just uninstalled rank math plugin from my site because it was injecting malware to my site.
From the last two days, I was unable to login into my website dashboard then i contact to siteground affiliate team.
They told me to restore the backup on the first day and change the login URL and password of the site.
I did it and it was solved. today, morning when I was trying to log in, the same problem occurred again.
my site was redirecting to some malicious sites which are not secure and i was not able to login to my website dashboard.
I again contact to siteground team and they scan the whole site and told me that ranmkath plugin is injecting malware on my site.
They told me to uninstall the plugin.
I was shocked by hearing this. Rank math is one of the popular plugin these days.
Below I have attached the chat screenshot you can see that.

Then, from my siteground file manager, I delete the rankmath plugin and after that, I am able to login to my dashboard.
For testing, after login into the dashboard I install rank math again and after few minutes, the same thing happened again.
I was not able to login. Redirecting to some other malicious sites. Then i got it that the fault is of rank math plguin.
Now i removed rank math completely and everything is clear now.
What is the issue is rankmath is not safe.

Hello,
Yes, using the latest version is always recommended and that could be an issue.
