I think this might be part of the problem LCBO.com is
experiencing:
I have a customer with a Wordpress site that had similar problems. Oh
what a freaking nightmare that was... in the end I had to completely disable all plugins and widgets until the culprit was found.
Not saying the LCBO site was built on it but I find as time goes on, websites tend to be designed around a framework of some kind rather than HTML from scratch... and very little attention is given to security of that framework.

My approach with WP is to turn off outside access first. Just
park a landing page with an "offline/maintenance" comment or
something.

Sweet. Wish I could do that with the sites that I manage. Most
of mine are charities or non-profits or retired folks.
