You may well have heard all the buzz online about the attacks on WordPress security. Unfortunately this is no joke, and it needs to be taken very seriously, or all you've built could be hijacked or worse, lost to you.
My first step is but I was helped by it. I had a good old style pity party.

Learn how to protect yourself until you get hacked. The thing about fix malware problems free and why so many people recommend because it is so easy to learn, it is. That can be a detriment to the health of our websites. We have to learn how to add a security fence.

Keep control of your assets - Nothing is worse than having your livelihood in the hands of somebody else. Why take chances with something as important as your website?
Can you view that folder, what if you visit i loved this WP-Content/plugins? If so, upload this blank official source Index.html file inside that folder as well so people can not see what plugins you have. Because if your version of WordPress is current, if you are using an old plugin or a plugin with a security hole, someone can use that to get access.
The plugin should be updated play nice, to remain current with the latest WordPress release and have WordPress and restore capabilities. The ability to clone your site (along with regular backups) can be useful if you ever want to do an offline website redesign, among other things.
