I installed some nulled Divi Booster plugin, after activation, my site was encrypted and asked for money via BTC. I need to reinstall whole site and add articles again, because database is also broken.
Lesson learned, just warning for you guys.
Virus total is nothing, it cannot detect malicious php files

$29 saved and whole night work wasted.

Lesson learned and yes I always make sure to avoid nulled plugins. If you are serious about business then why risk all this?

There is always a reason why people null it, I will never try to risk it. Btw, I found some new registered accounts are pretty sneaky, they share nulled shits again and again on this forum, very fishy.
