How to redirect all nested posts of one category to the main page?

Question

htaccess

Good afternoon

The site on WP caught a virus or whatever, but now pages from "Casino" appear in the search. There are no
static pages in the site folders, they are generated by some kind of script that

looks like this:

.

There is no category "news" at all

1)
Maybe someone met with something similar?
It's not clear where to look and where to dig
I checked for viruses through Beget, there are a lot of missing files due to weight, there is nothing unusual

2)
How can I redirect all posts that come after /news/
to the main page of the site in .htaccess?

Please tell me how to spell

Answer 1

If a

There is no "news" category at all

Then
For Nginx

location /news {
   return 301 /;
}

For Apache

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule "^/news/(.*)"  "/"  [R,L]
